Abstract

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a rare disease that can be accompanied by various clinical symptoms in addition to basal cell carcinoma. Cancers usually occur at an earlier age or later in multiple areas. According to a recent study, genetic mutations are highly suspected as the cause of the syndrome. Since this gene mutation is inherited as an autosomal dominant, it must be accompanied by a screening test for the patient's family along with the patient's treatment. In this study, we was experienced a patient diagnosed with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome after genetic mutation was confirmed, so it is reported along with a review of the literature.
