Naevoid basal cell carcinoma (Gorlin's) syndrome.
The multiple naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin's syndrome) is an inherited multisystem disorder which affects not only the skin, but also the skeletal system and a variety of other tissues and organs. This is a report of the case of a 29 year old woman who presented with multiple advanced basal cell carcinomas. On the basis of a literature review, guidelines for management are suggested and the importance of early diagnosis and regular follow-up is emphasized.
