Abstract

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is an uncommon inherited disorder characterized by numerous basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts and musculoskeletal malformations. A spectrum of other neurological, ophthalmic, endocrine and genital manifestations is known to be variably associated with this triad. Diagnosis of the syndrome is based on major and minor criteria. It is important to make an early diagnosis and a proper management of GGS to reduce the severity of complications including cutaneous and cerebral malignancy.
We present a case of GGS in a 39-year-old male who met three major and several minor criteria.
