    Area of Science:

    • Genetics and Developmental Biology
    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder.
    • It is characterized by a predisposition to various cancers and developmental abnormalities.

    Observation:

    • A pediatric case presenting with classic cutaneous and skeletal manifestations of NBCCS.
    • Key features included multiple basal cell carcinomas, rib anomalies, frontal bossing, and ocular hypertelorism.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited prominent early signs of NBCCS, including basal cell carcinomas and skeletal malformations.
    • The report anticipates the potential development of other syndrome-related features, such as jaw cysts and palmar/plantar pitting, with age.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and vigilant monitoring are crucial for managing NBCCS in pediatric patients.
    • Ongoing surveillance for medulloblastoma and aggressive basal cell carcinoma is essential for optimal patient care and prognosis.
