Variable expressivity of the multiple nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. 1982

L J Pritchard, and J J Delfino, and D M Ivey, and A Sclaroff, and J A Giglio

Four cases of multiple nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome are presented. No one component of the syndrome is present in all patients; instead, the many malformations associated with the syndrome have variable expressivity. The triad of jaw cysts, basal cell epitheliomas, and skeletal anomalies is well known, whereas other aspects, such as intracranial calcifications, hypertelorism, mental retardation, ectopic calcification, cleft lip and palate, cutaneous cysts, and palmar and plantar dyskeratosis, are more subtle and easily overlooked.

D009807 Odontogenic Cysts Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation. Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst

D002280 Carcinoma, Basal Cell A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs.
