R. Leonardi et al., Bilateral hyperplasia of the mandibular coronoid processes associated withthe nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in an Italian boy, BR DENT J, 190(7), 2001, pp. 349-350
In this report we present a subject affected by nevoid basal cell carcinoma
syndrome (NBCCS), showing also bilateral mandibular coronoid processes hyp
erplasia, a hitherto unreported association. Our observation of bilateral h
yperplasia of the mandibular coronoid processes in a boy with NBCCS may pro
mpt a retrospective and prospective review of other patients affected by th
is syndrome in order to establish if this anomaly is part of it.
