Diagnosis of this condition is based on major and minor clinical and radiological criteria. Oral medicine and radiology specialists are crucial in diagnosing this condition due to the oral and maxillofacial symptoms. However, conventional radiographs may not provide enough information for an accurate diagnosis, including the two-dimensional imaging modalities. Therefore, the importance of advanced digital imaging for diagnosis is highlighted in this case report of a male patient in his late 20s. The patient had missing teeth and asymptomatic multiple swelling in the orofacial region for 2 months. Routine clinical examination, radiographic investigations and histopathological evaluation led to incidental finding of multiple cystic lesions in the maxillary and mandibular region which on further evaluation led to the final diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2024-259937","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]],"date-time":"2024-08-22T00:51:03Z","timestamp":1724287863000},"page":"e259937","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Nevoid basal cell carcinoma (Gorlin-Goltz) syndrome: an incidental finding"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Mahesh","family":"Kaggare Puttaraju","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral Medicine and Radiology, JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mysore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meera","family":"Theenathayalan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral Medicine and Radiology, JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mysore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082801113623000_17.8.e259937.1","first-page":"215","article-title":"Advances in diagnostic criteria for Gorlin-Goltz syndrome","volume":"56","author":"Smith","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Med Genet"},{"key":"2025082801113623000_17.8.e259937.2","first-page":"301","article-title":"Novel radiographic techniques in the diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome","volume":"129","author":"Brown","year":"2020","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol"},{"key":"2025082801113623000_17.8.e259937.3","first-page":"145","article-title":"Multidisciplinary management of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome: a case series","volume":"76","author":"Lee","year":"2018","journal-title":"Oral Oncol"},{"key":"2025082801113623000_17.8.e259937.4","article-title":"Genetic basis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome: an update","volume":"9","author":"Chen","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mol Genet Genomic Med"},{"key":"2025082801113623000_17.8.e259937.5","first-page":"182","article-title":"PTCH1 mutations in Gorlin-Goltz syndrome: Genotype-phenotype correlations","volume":"93","author":"Thompson","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Dermatol Sci"},{"key":"2025082801113623000_17.8.e259937.6","first-page":"e81","article-title":"Dental anomalies in Gorlin-Goltz syndrome: a systematic review","volume":"27","author":"Rodriguez-Lozano","year":"2022","journal-title":"Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal"},{"key":"2025082801113623000_17.8.e259937.7","unstructured":"Kim JE , Kim HJ , Hong SP .
