title: [Multiple heterogeneous cysts of the jaw. A clinical case].
abstract: A 23-year-old white man was referred to this Odontostomatologic Service for evaluation of palatal swelling lesion. Oral inspection showed a poor oral conditions and multiple caries. A panoramic radiograph revealed 3 mandibular and 4 maxillary radiolucent lesions. No major nor minor clinical and radiographic criteria of Gorlin's syndrome were present; furthermore clinical features and laboratory blood values, ruled out a possible association with Maroteaux-Lamy, Hunter, and Hurler' syndromes and hyperparathyroidism. The 7 radiolucent lesions were surgically enucleated and the histologic study revealed that these lesions consisted in: 1 keratocyst, 1 naso-palatine cyst, 4 radicular cysts and 1 fiber-connective tissue.
