Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder manifesting as a multisystemic disease. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is considered as the most consistent feature of this syndrome. Dentists play a key role in making early diagnosis of this syndrome. Here we present a case of Gorlin- Goltz syndrome identified by multiple multilocular radiolucencies in the mandible. A review of literature of different diagnostic criteria for Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is also discussed.

Abstract


Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder manifesting as a multisystemic disease. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is considered as the most consistent feature of this syndrome. Dentists play a key role in making early diagnosis of this syndrome. Here we present a case of Gorlin- Goltz syndrome identified by multiple multilocular radiolucencies in the mandible. A review of literature of different diagnostic criteria for Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is also discussed.
