Abstract
- Cerebriform sebaceous naevus (CSN) is a rare morphological sebaceous naevus variant and challenging to diagnose prenatally due to its flat, smooth and waxy appearance and lack of association with extracutaneous manifestations.A multigravida was referred to our tertiary obstetric unit at 24 weeks of gestation for evaluation of fetal auricular lesions. We were able to further characterise the lesions via serial obstetric ultrasound imaging with the aid of three-dimensional (3D) technology. Although the precise diagnosis prenatally was uncertain, the use of 3D technology allowed the reconstruction of the fetal cutaneous lesions for multidisciplinary assessment to facilitate the development of a neonatal management plan. The diagnosis of CSN was made postnatally on biopsy.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.<br /> (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2024. No commercial re-use.
