Abstract
Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (also known as the basal cell nevus syndrome, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, or just Gorlin syndrome) is a rare phakomatosis characterized by multiple odontogenic keratocysts (OKC), multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and other abnormalities. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner which shows a high level of penetrance and variable expressiblity. Early diagnosis is essential as it may progress to basal cell neoplasm or carcinomas. It has been rarely reported in India. We report here one such patient, diagnosed at a tertiary care hospital.
