Gorlin–Goltz syndrome is an infrequent multisystemic disease that is inherited in an autosomal dominant way showing a high level of penetrance & variable expressiveness. It is about a multisystemic process that is characterized by the presence of odontogenic keratocysts in the jaws, multiple basal cell nevi or carcinomas, palmar and/or plantar pits & calcification of falx cerebri.
