MATERIALTwo EGYPTIAN skeletons of the Dynastic Period are described: each shows anomalies compatible with the diagnosis of the basal cell naevus syndrome. They are in the Egyptian osteological collection of the Istituto di Antropologia, University of Turin (Cat. Nos. E225 and E 235), where one of us (M.I.S.) was carrying out research on an Italian Government scholarship in 1967.A curious and perhaps somewhat mystical coincidence is noted.
