    Author: Gherardini G, Bhatia N, Stal S.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 1997 Oct; 24(4):649-61. PubMed ID: 9342508.
    Abstract:
    Syndromes associated with nonmelanoma skin cancer are part of a group of inherited disorders characterized by a wide variety of clinical manifestations including palmar and plantar pitting, calcification of the dura, jaw cysts, and skeletal abnormalities. The syndromes have in common skin lesions progressing to basal or squamous cell cancers. In addition to skin tumors, bone and visceral tumors are common. Early diagnosis, genetic counseling, and treatment of skin lesions are appropriate tools for the management of patients with these syndromes. Surgical procedures generally involve total resection combined with reconstructive efforts.
