Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a relatively uncommon clinical entity. It is essentially characterized by the early onset of multiple basal cell carcinomas of the skin generally above wrist-line level, by the presence of jaw cysts, musculoskeletal and other anomalies. Metastatic disease secondary to ordinary basal cell carcinoma is indeed rare. What is even more rare is pulmonary metastases from basal cell carcinoma. Very few cases have been reported in which pulmonary resection was performed for metastatic basal cell carcinoma. We were unable to find a reported case in which pulmonary resection was performed for a pulmonary nodule metastatic from the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. Herein is reported what we believe to be the first case of pulmonary resection performed for a metastatic nodule in this syndrome.
