Comments on several case reports

摘要

After reading four case reports published in the Journal of Dental Sciences, I would like to give my comments on these cases. The first one is a case of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.1 The 15-year-old girl presented with multiple odontogenic keratocysts, a bifid rib of the right fourth rib, ectopic calcification of the falx cerebri, and an arachnoid cyst of the cerebrum. I suggest following-up the patient closely to see whether the basal cell carcinoma, ovarian fibroma, meningioma, or cardiac fibroma develop in the future, because these malignant or benign tumors may occur in a nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome patient.
