Abstract

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with a high degree of penetrance. It is characterized by basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, palmar and plantar pits and ectopic calcifications of falx cerebri. The presence of two major and one minor criteria or one major and three minor criteria are necessary to establish a diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, as well as family screening and genetic counseling are essential as it may be associated in 10% of patients with aggressive basal cell carcinoma and malignant neoplasias. We report here a patient with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome.
