Basal cell naevus syndrome, characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, and skeletal issues, presents diagnostic and management challenges. This study reviews 60 patient cases to highlight these clinical complexities.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oral Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Basal cell naevus syndrome (BCNS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder.
  • It is characterized by a distinctive triad: multiple basal cell carcinomas, jaw keratocysts, and developmental abnormalities of the skin, skeleton, and endocrine glands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical features of Basal Cell Naevus Syndrome in a cohort of 60 patients.
  • To identify and discuss challenges encountered in the diagnosis and management of this syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of clinical data from 60 patients diagnosed with Basal Cell Naevus Syndrome.
  • Analysis of presenting symptoms, diagnostic procedures, treatment interventions, and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The study details the prevalence and specific manifestations of the classic triad and other associated anomalies in the patient cohort.
  • Common diagnostic difficulties and variations in management strategies were observed, impacting patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Basal Cell Naevus Syndrome requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective diagnosis and management.
  • Early recognition and comprehensive care are crucial for improving the prognosis of affected individuals.
