Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is usually associated with multiple odontogenic keratocystic tumors. So these can be managed surgically by a oral maxillofacial surgeon.
The mucosal thickening on MRI can be because of the sinus infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
