“…The presence of (lympho)mesenteric cysts is a minor diagnostic criterion with an unknown specific frequency 14 . Only a few case reports have been published, but these types of cysts are probably under‐reported in patients with BCNS 78,79 . (Lympho)mesenteric cysts are benign, intra‐abdominal tumours which are usually asymptomatic and often an occasional finding, although cases with abdominal pain have been reported 80 .…”

A guideline for the clinical management of basal cell naevus syndrome (Gorlin–Goltz syndrome)*

The overall objective of this guideline is to provide up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and surveillance of all symptoms in children and adults with either basal cell naevus syndrome (BCNS), a clinical suspicion of BCNS, or a parent with BCNS. In the last two groups, the guidelines should be followed until the diagnosis of BCNS can be rejected with certainty. The guideline aims to:• Update and expand on the previous guidelines by an appraisal of all relevant literature from January 2011 up to January 2021• Address important, practical, clinical questions relating to the primary guideline objective• Provide guideline recommendations • Discuss potential developments and future directions The guideline is presented as a detailed review with highlighted recommendations for practical use in the clinic by dermatologists and other healthcare professionals, including general practitioners, clinical geneticists, paediatricians, ophthalmologists, craniomaxillofacial surgeons, neurologists, cardiologists and psychologists. ExclusionsThe guideline does not cover therapeutic recommendations for (nondermatological) symptoms, as the guideline mainly focuses on screening and follow-up of symptoms. Therapeutic recommendations for basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in general have been published in international BCC guidelines. 1,2 Stakeholder involvement and peer reviewThe guideline was developed at the Maastricht University Medical Centre (MUMC+), the Dutch BCNS expert centre accredited

“…They speculated that mesenteric cysts might be one of the clinical manifestations of NBCCS. 10 In our case, we suggested further investigations of the patient due to the infeasibility to distinguish the benign or malignant possibility of the cysts through imageology, but he refused.…”

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is a rare autosomal dominant-inherited disease characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors, palmar and/or plantar pits. A 50-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with multiple plaques and maculopapular lesions on his face and trunk for more than 20 years. A skin biopsy revealed a number of discrete nests of basaloid cells in the dermis where the peripheral cells are arrayed like a palisade. Multiple odontogenic keratocysts and falx cerebri calcification were found. The diagnosis of NBCCS was made. We treated this patient with 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) with red light activation, 5% imiquimod cream and surgical excision for the basal cell carcinomas. All the skin lesions on his face improved substantially after eight sessions of red-light ALA-PDT from clinical observation. Red-light ALA-PDT proved to be a good therapeutic method for NBCCS in this case.
