Case Reports[Photodynamic therapy of lid basal cell carcinomas in a 13-year-old patient with Gorlin Goltz syndrome].
Gorlin Goltz syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant inherited disease that is characterised by multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCC) including the periorbital region and eye lids. We report a severe infantile manifestation with lid involvement treated by photodynamic therapy (PDT). ⋯ In cases of numerous confluent and surgically not removable BCC, PDT represents an effective therapy. Frequent monitoring is necessary to maintain the clinical outcome.
