Gorlin-Goltz syndrome - case report

Abstract

The simultaneous occurrence of multiple cysts in both the jaws of a patient is rare and it usually occurs as the manifestation of a syndrome. Whenever multiple cysts are found, it is necessary to rule out an association with any syndrome, as the chances of recurrence are very high and a periodic follow-up is required for such patients. In our patient, cyst enucleation was done previously, but the association with the Gorlin-Goltz syndrome wasmissed and no follow-ups were advised.
