Abstract
We report a patient with naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) who developed cutaneous cysts on her digits, Histological examination of one of the cysts showed a festooned lining epithelium maturing wit hout a granular cell layer, similar to that of the jaw keratocyst char acteristic of this syndrome, This type of cutaneous keratocyst has bee n reported only once previously, in two patients with NBCCS.
