Concurrent syringocystadenoma papilliferum and basal cell carcinoma arising from nevus sebaceous

Here, we report a case of a female adult patient presenting with fleshy lesions on her scalp who underwent elective excision, and two separate lesions were identified on histopathology. She was found to have an unusual concurrent presentation of syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) and basal cell carcinoma, emphasising the importance of differential diagnosis in cutaneous lesions. While SCAP is benign, the presence of basal cells necessitates careful monitoring and appropriate treatment. Factors contributing to the simultaneous occurrence of these lesions, such as genetic predisposition or environmental factors, warrant further investigation. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for concurrent skin lesions, particularly in sun-exposed areas. Comprehensive evaluation and management are crucial to ensure appropriate treatment and follow-up for patients presenting with multiple skin tumours.
