Post-radiation conversion of benign cutaneous lesions to malignant is likely in the facial region. Thereby counselling and necessity of regular follow up is essential in patients undergoing radiotherapy in head and neck malignancies. Benign lesions undergo malignant change more so in the fascio cutaneous planes. A benign nasomaxillary blue naevus that transformed to malignant basal cell carcinoma following radiotherapy for pituitary adenoma is being reported.
