A case of a 28 year‐old Chinese male who presented with a rapidly growing tumor within a nevus sebaceous on his right cheek. The tumor was excised and immunohistochemical analysis and histology were consistent with spindle‐cell squamous cell carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first report of cutaneous spindle‐cell squamous cell carcinoma developing in nevus sebaceous in the English literature. This report highlights the importance of early excision of any nevus sebaceous with a history of change.
