“…The dentists’ diagnostic role surfaces when considering the fact that OKC development frequently antedates the syndromic basal cell naevi [2,7], thereby allowing an earlier diagnosis. The cysts occur three times more frequently in the mandible than the maxilla and can cross the midline in both jaws [3,28]. Jaw swelling, dull pain, and intraoral drainage of cystic contents are common signs and symptoms [26,29].…”

The purpose of this paper is to report the development of multiple odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) in a 15-year-old female with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) and review the literature pertinent to NBCCS. Although more than 100 abnormalities have been reported in NBCCS, the development of OKCs is one of its principle features. In view of this, the patient was subjected to further medical, dermatological and radiographic investigation. Multiple basal cell naevi and skeletal anomalies associated with NBCCS were found. Because of the autosomal dominant inheritance of this syndrome, the patient's family was then investigated. The patient's father was found to have multiple OKCs. The report highlights the need for vigilance in considering the diagnosis of NBCCS in all cases of OKCs, particularly those affecting young patients.

“…However, he may suspect the syndrome when (1) the patient is young (below the age of 30 years); (2) several basal cell carcinomas are present or have been previously removed; (3) the carcinoma is from an unexposed part of the body; (4) there is a multicentric pat¬ tern; and (5) recognizable osteoid is present within the neoplasm. In a large series of 340 cutaneous lesions, only 22 true nevus cell tumors were present in 13 patients.15 Four of these were intimately associated with basal cell carcinomas.15 This fre¬ quency of nevi is no greater than would be expected in the general population.…”

The neurological symptomatology of the basal cell nevus syndrome (Gorlin-Goltz syndrome) is described based on a personal observation and previously published cases. The case presented here, with dominant cerebellar symptomatology, optic atrophy and pyramidal signs, is discussed pathophysiologically either as a primary central nervous manifestation of the basic disturbance or as a secondary cerebral paraneoplastic process.
