Phenotypic spectrum of a patient with Gorlin’s syndrome and role of dermoscopy in the early detection of basal cell carcinomas* * Study conducted at the Centro Hospitalar São João EPE – Porto, Portugal.

Abstract

Gorlin's syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, mainly characterized by the presence of multiple and early-onset basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts and palmoplantar pits. We describe the case of a patient with clinical and imaging features of Gorlin syndrome, and highlight the role of dermoscopy in the early detection of basal cell carcinomas. In addition, we discuss the dermoscopic features of palmar pits.
