What is the Prevalence of Undiagnosed Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome in Children with an Odontogenic Keratocyst?

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) can occur in isolation or as part of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS). Subjects with NBCCS are younger at OKC diagnosis than those with non-syndromic OKC (NS-OKC). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of undiagnosed NBCCS in children who present with an OKC and to assess differences in demographic and presenting features between children with NBCCS and those with NS-OKC.
