Abstract

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is a rare uncommon multisystemic disease with an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by the presence of multiple odontogenic keratocysts, basal cell nevi carcinomas and skeletal abnormalities are unique features of this autosomal dominant inherited disorder known as Goltz syndrome. Genetically abnormalities were noticed in the long arm of chromosome 9 and failure in mutation of human gene PTCH1 gene. Presence of major and minor criteria (Table 2) playing a major role in diagnosis of this kind of syndrome. Presenting a case of 18-year-old boy in favor of Gorlin syndrome having one major and six minor criteria adding to confirm diagnosis. Along with clinical features, radiological findings with the help of orthopantomogram, CT scan, chest X-ray help in the diagnosis of this particular syndrome, thus helps in prevention of recurrence and better survival rates because of early detection.
