Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome: A case report

Abstract

Gorlin -Goltz syndrome or Jaw cyst-basal cell nevus-bifid rib syndrome involves multi organ systems. The most common findings are multiple odontogenic keratocysts in the jaws and basal cell nevi on the skin that have an early age of onset. These multiple odontogenic keratocysts require aggressive treatment at the earliest because of the damage associated with them and the high recurrence rate. Several cases of ameloblastoma have been reported in these cysts. Recurrence of these lesions should be taken into consideration while explaining the prognosis to the patient. We present a case report of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome characterized by multiple odontogenic keratocysts involving both the jaws.
