The patient consulted because of the occurence of nodules (2) on the anterior part of the lesion.

Dermoscopy revealed yellow globular-like structures (1) on the posterior area.
On the nodules, arborizing tree vessels and blue ovoid nests were in favour of a basal cell carcinoma or a trichoblastoma
This lesion was biopsied and pathology confirmed the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma occuring on a Jadahsson nevus (nevus sebaceus)
Knowing that trichoblastomas are the tumors the most frequently reported as complication of nevus sebaceous (2, 3) and that dermoscopy is not sufficently discriminative to distinguish a trichoblastoma from a basal cell carcinoma, we have to wait for the pathology result of the entire excision.
An update will be added within a month.
