The basal cell nevus syndrome - also known as Gorlin-Goltz syndrome - is an autosomal dominant disorder that occurs with the development of basal cell carcinomas in young patients and other clinical and radiological findings. As this syndrome tends to be a systemic disease, a better understanding of it by the various medical specialties is important for early diagnosis, allowing appropriate treatment and secondary prevention. In the present case, the authors describe an adult patient with multiple exuberant basal cell carcinomas having spread through the body over 10 years.
