134 The study of basal cell carcinoma nevus syndrome through continuous quality improvement assessment

ANGIOGENESIS ASSESSMENT IN BASAL CELL CARCINOMA

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is currently the most common cutaneous cancer found in humans. Although it generally shows a relatively benign course (BCCl), some cases show aggressive behavior (BCC2). Until recently, traditional histologic diagnostic criteria have failed to discriminate unequivocally between BCC 1 and BCC2. In this study we selected 50 cases of BCC and categorized them into tw...

Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Showing Several Histologic Types of Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), or Gorlin Syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by multiple developmental abnormalities and associated with germline mutations in the PTCH gene. Patients show multiple and early onset basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in skin, odontogeniccysts in the jaw, pits on palms and soles, medulloblastoma, hypertelorism, and calcification of the falx cere...

Retraction: Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Showing Several Histologic Types of Basal Cell Carcinoma
