[Radiological aspects of the basal cell naevus syndrome (Gorlin-Goltz syndrome) (author's transl)]. 1976

D Novak, and W Bloss

The radiological features of the basal cell naevus syndrome (Gorling-Goltz syndrome) are described, based on four of our own cases and 105 collected from the literature. Multiple cysts in the lower or upper jaw are found in 92% and 35% respectively. Anomalies of ribs are present in 45%, calcification of the falx in 49% and a scoliosis of the spine in 32% of cases. In our four patients, multiple small cysts were found in the bones of the hands and of the arms. These changes have not been previously described.

D009807	Odontogenic Cysts	Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation.	Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst

D002280	Carcinoma, Basal Cell	A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs.
