Abstract:
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), also known as basal cell nevus syndrome or Goltz-Gorlin syndrome, is a complex and rare autosomal dominant inherited disease. A large number of studies have confirmed that PTCH1 gene is associated with NBCCS. This study presents a case of NBCCS with anophthalmia of the left eye. It explores and delves deep into the syndrome while conducting a relevant literature review.
