Abstract
Naevus comedonicus is a developmental abnormality of the skin comprising numerous keratin-filled pits. The lesions are occasionally present at birth, but more often make their initial appearance during childhood or adolescence. We present a case of a rare presentation of nevus comedonicus with trichlemmal cyst of the scalp. The clinical presentation and the surgical management of the patient have been outlined.
