- Abstract
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a syndrome with wide variety of manifestations ranging from oral lesions to skeletal deformities. It calls for due responsibility of maxillofacial surgeon to diagnose the syndrome because very often they are the first health professionals to see the patient for the treatment of keratocystic odontogenic tumor. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) has been the topic of numerous investigators and is known for its potentially aggressive behavior and significant rate of recurrences. Keratocystic odonto - genic tumor often occurs as a solitary lesion, and in some instances multiple keratocysts may occur in association with a syndrome called Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (nevoid basal cell carcinoma, jaw cyst bifid rib basal cell nevus syndrome). Here, we present a case of multiple keratocysts in the mandible in association with skeletal, ocular and cutaneous ano malies in the given clinical scenario which has profound relevance in the clinical dental practice.
