Widespread osteolytic lesions of the long bones in basal cell nevus syndrome

Widespread osteolytic lesions of the long bones in basal cell nevus syndrome

G Blinder et al. Skeletal Radiol. 1984.

Abstract

Three members of a family, father, daughter, and son, with the basal cell nevus syndrome are presented. A very unusual manifestation of widespread cyst-like osteolytic lesions in all the tubular bones was observed in the father, together with osteoblastic spotty "osteopoikilotic" lesions in the skull and the mandible of the same patient. Cyst-like osteolytic lesions have been described previously in this syndrome, mainly in the phalanges. We believe that such lesions can occur in any bone.
