Abstract: Cerebriform nevus is an extremely rare hamartoma of the skin that is present at birth and typically presents as a hyperpigmented patch commonly on the scalp, trunk and lower limbs. It develops convolutions over the surface giving the characteristic cerebriform appearance and grows during puberty under the hormonal influence and can develop secondary neoplasms in adulthood. We report a case of extensive cerebriform nevus sebaceous in a 5 year old girl highlighting diagnostic challenges in a resource limited setting.
