Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, palmar/plantar pits, spine and rib anomalies, and falx cerebri calcification. Current diagnostic criteria are suboptimal when applied to pediatric populations, as most common symptoms often do not begin to appear until teenage years.
