Abstract:
Goltz-Gorlin syndrome or Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an infrequent multisystemic disease that is inherited in a dominant autosomal pattern, which shows a high level of penetrance and variable expressiveness. The syndrome is associated with multiple Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumors (KCOT) in 90% of cases. In addition to jaw cysts, multiple basal cell carcinomas and skeletal anomalies are common findings. KCOTs associated with this syndrome can be seen in both maxilla and mandible but there is more tendencies to posterior mandible and the recurrence rate is more than nonsyndromic cases. In this article we describe two patients with diagnosis of Goltz-Gorlin syndrome, its typical findings and finally we discuss about the treatment method used for jaw cysts and the outcome of 1 year follow-up.
