Case series of rhinocerebral mucormycosis occurring in diabetic patients

 Background: Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a fatal infection typically affecting diabetic or immunosuppressed patients. In most cases, infection is caused by inhalation of fungal spores. Mortality rate of patients is very high (40-85%).  Case Presentation: In this study, three diabetic patients with rhinocerebral mucormycosis were presented. The etiologic agents of mucormycosis in two patien...

[A case of basal cell nevus syndrome].

A case of basal cell nevus syndrome is reported. The patient, a 25-year-old man, had no family history of this condition. The patient showed multiple mandibular cysts, calcification of the falx cerebri, bridging of the sella turcica, ocular hypertelorimsm, a broad nasal root, and pitting of the palms.

Basal cell nevus syndrome. A case report.

An 11-year-old boy with multiple dentigerous cysts in the maxilla and mandible is described. Other findings seen in the face, plantar skin, skeletal system and oral cavity indicated the lesions to be due to the basal cell nevus syndrome. This was further confirmed by the presence of similar abnormalities in his father and brother.

Acrochordon-like basal cell carcinomas in patients with basal cell nevus syndrome.

Basal cell nevus syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, along with numerous other documented clinical features. Acrochordons (or skin tags) are common benign neoplasms that are appropriately left untreated in most patients. We describe two patients with known BCNS who were found to have multiple BCCs that clinically resembled acrochordons. Ou...
