Multiple Basal Cell Epitheliomas Originating From Congenital Pigmented Basal Cell Nevi

Skin tags as a presenting sign of basal cell nevus syndrome in three sisters of the same family

“…Nomland described skin tags in association with this syndrome and used the term “nevus of basal cell”. 12 Elvira Chiritescu et al described 7 children with the same presentation. Multiple skin tags in this age group could represent an early sign for BCNS.…”

Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome

“…In the initial description of a patient with BCNS, Nomland [ 1 ] described the cutaneous pigmented papules as clinically resembling moles. He noted, however, that true nevocellular cells were not present and con sidered the majority of the lesions to be quiescent basal cell nevi from which frank epitheliomas could develop.…”

Multiple naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin's syndrome)

“…Although not recognized as a distinct syndrome until i960 (Gorlin & Goltz,i960), there is now evidence of it existing in ancient Egyptian times (Satinoff & Wells, 1969). Various components ofthe syndrome were individually described by Nomland (1932), Straith (1939), Binkley & Johnson (1951), and Howell & Caro (1959). Since then there have been many reports in the literature of which the most comprehensive have been by Clendenning, Block & Radde (1964), Gorlin et al (1965), Gorlin & Sedano (1971) and Gorlin, Pindborg & Cohen (1976).…”
