Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines the rare skeletal anomaly known as bifid rib, which appears in less than 1.5% of the population and faces challenges in identification due to postmortem damage and similarity to other conditions.
  • - It presents five cases of rib bifurcation from four individuals across different populations in the Kujawy region of Poland, analyzed through morphological and paleoradiological methods.
  • - The research also critiques existing evidence linking bifurcated ribs to naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and proposes a new way to classify this anomaly in osteological studies.

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a diverse clinical presentation, which includes developmental abnormalities and tumorigenesis that can impact multiple organ systems. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and characteristic clinical presentation in patients with NBCCS. There are three identified causative genes for this disease, the PTCH1 gene located at 9q22-31, the PTCH2 gene at 1p32-34, and the SUFU gene at 10q24.

Article Synopsis
  • Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is an autosomal dominant genetic condition linked to an increased risk of multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and associated with mutations in the PTCH1 or SUFU genes, though diagnosis can occur without these markers.
  • The main symptom of GGS is the development of multiple BCCs, which usually grow slowly and stay localized, but can sometimes be more aggressive in affected individuals.
  • A recent case demonstrates that radiation therapy (RT), typically avoided due to the heightened risk of BCCs in GGS patients, can be effective and safe in treating an inoperable BCC that had metastasized, suggesting the need for personalized treatment approaches.
