| Abstract: | A 22-year-old female, with multiple polyposis of the colon and two central nervous system tumors, also suffered from recurrent basal cell carcinoma. The purpose of this report is to alert physicians to the possibility that basal cell carcinoma occurring at an unusually young age may be another manifestation of the familial polyposis syndromes. |
