Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome - A Rare Cause of Recurrent Jaw Pain in a Young Child

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an infrequent multisystem disease. At least two major criteria or one major and two minor criteria must be present to make the diagnosis. However, the most important criteria are the presence of basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, palmar and/or plantar pits, and ectopic calcification of falx cerebri. It is necessary to identify the syndrome early due to its predisposition to cancer. An early diagnosis can be made using a multi-disciplinary approach. We report a rare case of an 11-year-old boy with this syndrome with an additional unusual finding of gynaecomastia. Categories: Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Radiology
