Current Issue Highlights
Telehealth in a Pediatric Patient with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome
DOI: https://doi.org/10.30953/thmt.v9.520
During the COVID-19
pandemic, telemedicine was adapted by many practices to serve patients with a variety of health conditions including those affected by cancer. This case reports an 11-year-old patient where a panorama dental x-ray shows multiple jaw keratocysts. She was seen in 2021 where telehealth was the primary modality for visits through the hospital’s secure video platform to gather medical history and counsel the mother. Two days later, the patient presented to the cancer center to have her blood
drawn and a physical exam was performed which identified macrocephaly, and palmar pits. Genetic testing was positive for a pathogenic variant in PTCH1 c.454_455del. The patient was referred to pediatric dermatology where over fifty basal cells were diagnosed and started treatment. She was also referred to cardiology and gynecology given reports of individuals with cardiac fibromas and gynecologic ovarian tumors. This case highlights how telehealth offers a holistic approach to
patient care.
