Abstract
The overall objective of this guideline is to provide up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and surveillance of all symptoms of children and adults with either basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), a clinical suspicion of BCNS, or a parent with BCNS. In the last two groups the guidelines should be followed until the diagnosis of BCNS can be rejected with certainty. The guideline aims to: - Update and expand on the previous guidelines by an appraisal of all relevant literature from January 2011 up to January 2021 - Address important, practical, clinical questions relating to the primary guideline objective - Provide guideline recommendations - Discuss potential developments and future directions.
