A vulvar case of nevus sebaceus is presented. During the routine histopatological examination, attention was drawn by several corpuscular structures. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that they were sensory corpuscles, identified respectively as Meissner‐like and glomerular corpuscles. Nevertheless, compared with typical Meissner corpuscles from digital glabrous skin, Meissner‐like corpuscles identified here were bigger, the axon showed an irregular course, and the lamellar cells were smaller. Regarding the glomerular corpuscles they were bigger but with a normal arrangement of the corpuscular constituents. These findings suggest that these cutaneous sensory corpuscles are part of the nevus sebaceus hamartoma.
