Gorlin syndrome, also called nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is well known by dermatologists. Since its onset, 10 years ago, photodynamic therapy has found new applications and is now currently used to cure single or multiple basal cell carcinomas, with good results and without residual scars. We recall some of the basic principles of this technique, as well as its indications in Gorlin syndrome, which we illustrate with one case. Plastic surgeons must consider this relatively new technique, developed by dermatologists, as a useful adjunct to surgery in the management of Gorlin syndrome.
