Abstract
Leucoderma, female patient, 49 years old, sought medical care complaining of “injury in the jaw.” She had a history of treatment of various squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. In extraoral clinical examination noted papillomatous lesions on the face, suggestive clinical picture of CEC and intraoral examination revealed to be dentate upper and lower part without local changes. Radiographic examination detected 3 radiolucent lesions, well delineated with radiopaque halo body region, bilateral mandibular branch and left posterior maxilla. Biopsy was performed via fine-needle aspiration, which collected whitened liquid with keratin, suggesting keratocystic odontogenic tumor. Incisional biopsy of the lesions and chest and face radiographs were requested, which showed calcification of the falx cerebri, confirming the diagnosis of Gorli-Goltz syndrome. The patient had surgery under general anesthesia for enucleation and curettage of chemical injury and cauterized surgical site using Carnoy. The patient is currently under monitoring.
