Gorlin syndrome, characterized by nevoid basal cell carcinoma, frequently presents with recurring jaw cysts. This case highlights a patient with multiple recurrent jaw and maxillary cysts, emphasizing the syndrome

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, also known as Gorlin syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder.
  • It is characterized by a spectrum of developmental abnormalities affecting multiple organ systems.
  • Odontogenic keratocysts are a hallmark manifestation, occurring in up to 90% of affected individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of a patient with Gorlin syndrome presenting with recurrent jaw and maxillary cysts.
  • To underscore the significance of odontogenic keratocysts as a key feature of this syndrome.
  • To illustrate the clinical course and management of such manifestations.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case presentation.
  • Review of patient history and diagnostic findings.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Longitudinal follow-up of cyst development.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient exhibited multiple recurrent jaw and maxillary cysts.
    • These cysts are consistent with the known oral manifestations of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
    • The patient was monitored for 2 years to track cyst recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • Recurrent odontogenic keratocysts in the jaw and maxilla are highly indicative of Gorlin syndrome.
    • Early recognition and management of these cysts are crucial for patients with or at risk for this condition.
    • This case reinforces the characteristic presentation of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
