Oral findings in a patient with Sebaceous Nevi - A Case Report.

The presentation herewith as scripted is to describe a case with Nevus sebaceous with oral manifestations. Nevus Sebaceous or Jadassohn's nevus is an epidermal nevus with predominant sebaceous glands seen histologically. Reports of oral involvement have been few ranging from papillomatous growths of the tongue, gingiva, palate to dental abnormalities such as anodontia and dysodontia. The present case describes a nevus sebaceous present on the right half of the face and neck, showing intraoral papillomatous growth on the lateral part of the tongue on the right side. The patient was healthy and did not report involvement of any other organ systems. Intraoral involvement may be seen in patients with Nevus Sebaceous, hence proper screening is important. In patients presenting with large nevi on the head and neck such as ours, involvement of other systems such as ocular, neurologic and oral lesions may be seen, therefore screening of such patients is of importance. Patients with nevus sebaceous may be predisposed to the occurrence of tumours. Therefore, careful screening of such patients is necessary.
