In this report, we describe the case of a 3-year-old boy with Gorlin syndrome who presented with a congenital scalp lesion. Histologic examination revealed scattered islands of meningothelial cells in a background of dense fibrous and vascular tissue, in keeping with meningothelial hamartoma of the scalp. The differential diagnoses of congenital scalp lesions and the association between Gorlin syndrome and meningothelial hamartoma of the scalp are discussed.
