Gorlin – Goltz Syndrome – A Case Report.

Abstract

The Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in the PTCH (patched) gene, shows a high level penetrance and variable expressiveness, characterized by multiple basal cell nevi or carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, palmar and / or plantar pits, calcification of the falxcerebri, and is occasionally associated with internal malignancies. Awareness about the syndrome plays a significant role in diagnosis. An early diagnosis is essential for early management of neoplastic lesions and that results in a better prognosis. Hence, present a case report and a review of Gorlin - Goltz syndrome.
