Linear basal cell nevus.

Abstract

We report a case of linear basal cell nervus occurring on the thigh of a forty-five-year-old woman. In this lesion, the characteristic comedones were absent. Linear basal cell nevus is a rare, benign condition that must be differentiated from both basal cell nevus syndrome and linear basal cell carcinoma, either of which can be locally aggressive.

Odontogenic keratocyst in an infant.

Odontogenic keratocysts occur as solitary lesions or in association with the basal cell naevus syndrome (BCNS), and have been documented in the age range 5 to 83 years. A rare case of an odontogenic keratocyst in a one-year-old girl is presented. Its characteristic tendency to recur, and its association with BCNS present important clinical implications.
