Keywords:
Gorlin-Goltz, Gorlin Goltz syndrome, basal cell carcinoma, odontogenic keratocysts.Abstract
The Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an autosomal dominant entity, with large penetrance and variable expressivity characterized by the presence of multiple basal cell carcinomas, palmar and/or plantar pits and keratocysts odontogenic tumours. Its low prevalence is due in part to late diagnosis because of its variable clinical presentation, which is why a detailed physical examination should be performed to correlate the findings with the diagnostic criteria. Below there are two cases, the first of a female patient of 51 age years that in her physical examination had one major and three minor criteria, enough to make the diagnosis. The second case was a male patient, the oldest son of the first patient, who had three major criteria and one minor. The aim of this paper is to highlight the most important aspects of this syndrome and the importance of physical examination for the diagnosis of the entity.
