Unilateral linear basal cell nevus associated with diffuse osteoma cutis, unilateral anodontia, and abnormal bone mineralization

J Am Acad Dermatol. 1989 May;20(5 Pt 2):973-8. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(89)70122-5.

Abstract

A case of unilateral linear basal cell nevus, diffuse osteoma cutis, unilateral anodontia, and abnormal bone mineralization is reported. Unlike the anodontia, the unilateral linear basal cell nevus and osteoma cutis began to appear in adulthood. A hamartomatous process is suggested to explain these conditions. This complex syndrome has not been reported in the literature.
