[Gorlin-Goltz syndrome--a case report].
The Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) (the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome-NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations found on chromosome 9. The syndrome is characterized by increased predisposition to develop a basal cell carcinoma and associated with multiorgan anomalies.


OBJECTIVE
To present a case of GGS and explain modern standards of care for patients with this syndrome.


METHODS
Authors report the case of a 36-year-old patient who was admitted to the Plastic Surgery Clinic due to numerous basal cell carcinomas. Previously patient underwent an orthopaedic, neurologic, dermatologic, stomatologic and surgery treatment due to particular anomalies which characterize this syndrome. Comprehensive interview and broadening of the diagnostics enabled to diagnose GGS and to introduce the appropriate treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
GGS is a multidisciplinary problem and widespread knowledge of this syndrome could accelerate the diagnosis process. Early diagnosis of GGS allows to introduce the secondary prophylaxis and to apply the appropriate treatment to slow the progress of the syndrome.
