Abstract
The association of cutaneous and extracutaneous abnormalities
is a common phenomenon, widely described in a variety of genetic syn-
dromes. Nevertheless, yet undescribed syndromic combinations may still
exist. Herein we present a case report of a patient who was admitted to the
Dermatology Department due to multiple basal cell carcinomas arising from
nevus sebaceous. In addition to the cutaneous malignancies, the patient
presented with palmoplantar keratoderma, prurigo nodularis, hypothyroid-
ism, multiple lumbar abnormalities, uterine myoma, an ovarian cyst, and
highly dysplastic colon adenoma. Such a combination of multiple disorders
may indicate a genetic origin of the diseases.
