  • Title: Gorlin-Goltz syndrome: a rare case report.
    Author: Mohan RP, Verma S, Agarwal N, Singh U.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2013 Jun 27; 2013():. PubMed ID: 23814215.
    Abstract:
    Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GS), also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is an infrequent multisystem disease inherited in a dominant autosomal way, which shows a high level of penetrance and variable expressiveness. It is characterised by keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOT) in the jaw, multiple basal cell nevi carcinomas and skeletal abnormalities. This syndrome may be diagnosed early by a dentist by routine radiographical examinations in the first decade of life, since the KCOTs are usually one of the first manifestations of the syndrome. This article describes an 11-year-old boy with GS.
