Nevus of Ota or congenital oculodermal melanosis (ODM) is characterized by brown or blue/gray asymptomatic brown or blue/gray flat lesions of the skin, mucosae, episcleral/sclera, and uvea, which are located near the trigeminal nerve's ophthalmic and mandibular branches. The main ophthalmic complications are glaucoma and predisposition to uveal melanoma. trichilemmal cyst is also known as wen pilar cyst or isthmus catagen cyst. It occurs in the scalp and mimics sebaceous cysts clinically. The swelling appears smooth in outline and is filled with cytokeratin. An unusual case of a 32-year-old male with both trichilemmal cyst and nevus of Ota, a 27-year-old female, and a 47-year-old male with nevus of Ota is discussed here.
