title: Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome: radiographic manifestations including cystlike lesions of the phalanges.
abstract: The radiographic findings in 25 patients with the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome are presented. Cystlike lucencies of the phalanges, a previously unreported finding, were seen in 46% of the patients in whom hand films were obtained. Mandibular cysts, present in 42% of cases, and exuberant intracranial calcifications were also characteristic features. Brachymetacarpalia, and rib and spine anomalies were also associated with the syndrome but are less specific findings.
