Cosmetics with unknown chemical components may cause unexpected cancers. Here, we report a rare case of hair dye-induced intracranial communicating scalp sebaceous carcinoma in a young female who dyed her hair 10 years ago. The histological origin of the intracranial communicating neoplasm was of priority for subsequent therapeutic decisions, therefore, requiring comprehensive diagnostic strategy. In conclusion, this case report emphasizes careful evaluation of the long-term risks for unlabeled cosmetics.
