Multiple odontogenic keratocysts of the jaws. Case report.
Single odontogenic cysts are very well documented in the literature. Of those less common reports concerning multiple jaw cysts, many have been associated with systemic conditions or syndromes such as Gorlin-Goltz or basal cell naevus syndrome, Hunter's syndrome and mucopolysaccharidosis, for example, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome. A case of multiple odontogenic keratocysts unassociated with any syndrome is reported so as to add to the growing number of such cases in the literature. The possibility of this case being a partial expression of the Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is discussed.
