    Summary

    Nevoid basal cell syndrome, or Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, presents with basal cell nevi and jaw cysts. Treatment involves cyst removal and bone grafting, with Carnoy’s solution for recurrences.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and Genetics
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Nevoid basal cell syndrome (Gorlin-Goltz syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder.
    • Characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, jaw keratocysts, skeletal anomalies, and intracranial calcifications.
    • Early diagnosis is crucial for managing associated health risks.

    Observation:

    • The case highlights incidental diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome through bilateral jaw cysts.
    • This presentation was observed in a patient and her family, suggesting a hereditary component.
    • Jaw cysts are a significant diagnostic feature, often leading to the identification of the syndrome.

    Findings:

    • Surgical enucleation of jaw cysts is the primary therapeutic intervention.
    • Homologous cancellous bone grafts are utilized to fill the resulting cavities.
    • Carnoy’s solution effectively treats recurrent cysts and eliminates residual microcysts.

    Implications:

    • Effective management of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome requires a multidisciplinary approach.
    • Timely surgical intervention for jaw cysts can prevent complications.
    • Understanding the syndrome's features aids in family screening and genetic counseling.
