Abstract

Gorlin's syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal, dominant syndrome, characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, a characteristic facial appearance, skeletal anomalies and malignancies of various organs throughout the body. We describe a 14-year-old girl with GS and propose a management protocol.
