title: Recurrent lesion on the right ala nasi and an odontogenic cyst in a soldier.
abstract: Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a genetic abnormality that often manifests with skin abnormalities and odontogenic pathology at a relatively young age. Whenever basal cell carcinoma is discovered, a more detailed history must be taken that goes back to the patient's youth. A suspicious history should lead to further follow-up. The diagnosis of NBCCS should not deter the clinician from treating the underlying skin carcinoma; rather, it should educate both the patient and the clinician that a more complex pathology exists that requires more aggressive and frequent oversight by a dermatologist.
