[Linear sebaceous nevus syndrome].

Abstract

We report a patient that fulfills the clinical features of the linear nevus sebaceous syndrome. This syndrome was defined by the triad: Linear nevus sebaceous, seizures and mental retardation. Further descriptions suggested an association with hamartomas of mesenchymal structures and increased risk of neoplasm transformation. Previously reported cases are reviewed. The complexity of classification of this neurocutaneous syndrome is discussed.

Malignant melanocytic trichoblastoma.

Trichoblastoma is an uncommon benign cutaneous neoplasm of the hair germ cell. The pigmented variety of the tumor is rare. There have only been a few case reports describing the malignant counterpart of trichoblastoma. There are no reports describing a pigmented variety of malignant trichoblastoma. We are presenting a case report of a 47-year-old patient with malignant trichoblastoma containing melanin deposits and propose to define this variety of the tumor as a separate entity: malignant melanocytic trichoblastoma.
