TLDR NBCCS and BFHS might be the same syndrome, helping better identify and manage cases.
The study suggested that Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS) and Basaloid Follicular Hamartoma Syndrome (BFHS) might be the same genetic entity rather than two distinct syndromes. It proposed that including Basaloid Follicular Hamartoma (BFH) in the NBCCS cutaneous tumor spectrum could aid in identifying misdiagnosed NBCCS cases. This inclusion could be beneficial for implementing tailored surveillance strategies for affected individuals.
