The nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is a congenital benign hamartoma of the skin that occurs more frequently in the scalp, but can also arise in the face. Due to its potential for malignization, exeresis is often required. Lesions located in the scalp are challenging to surgeons because of the anatomical characteristics of this body site, namely scarcity and inelasticity of the adjacent skin. In the present report, the authors describe a case of excision of a nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn located in the scalp, using a bilateral rotation flap – a very straightforward and versatile technique, excellent for reconstructing difficult topographies such as the scalp – for the closure of the surgical wound.
