The Goltz syndrome associated with giant cell tumour of bone. A case report.
The Goltz syndrome is a rare condition in which there are congenital anomalies in skin, teeth, eyes and bone. We report an unusual case of a 17 year old girl who had various anomalies associated with the syndrome. She sustained a pathological fracture of the left femur at the site of a giant cell tumour. Another lesion occurred in the right fibula, but resolved spontaneously.
