title: Cutaneous keratocyst in naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
abstract: We report a patient with naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) who developed cutaneous cysts on her digits. Histological examination of one of the cysts showed a festooned lining epithelium maturing without a granular cell layer, similar to that of the jaw keratocyst characteristic of this syndrome. This type of cutaneous keratocyst has been reported only once previously. in two patients with NBCCS.
