Abstract:
In a 48-year-old man with the nevoid basal-cell carcinoma, Gorlin-Goltz syndrome was diagnosed. There were multiple, facial, basal-cell carcinomas, multiple, odontogenic keratocysts of the mandible, rib malformations, and a wide nasal bridge, common characteristics of the syndrome. Cleft lip and palate, seen in this patient, has been described in only 5% of those with this syndrome.
