Abstract
Kayser-Fleischer rings were detected during a routine ophthalmologic workup in a 25-year-old man with basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid. Although the importance of this association is uncertain, the routine preoperative evaluation of basal cell carcinoma led to the presymptomatic diagnosis of Wilson's disease. These disorders are discussed, as are the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach for the diagnosis and management of medical problems.
