Unusual Cortical Bone Features in a Patient with Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome: A Case Report

Gorlin-goltz syndrome (ggs) consists of ectodermal and mesodermal abnormalities. in this case report we will investigate lower extremity lesions of ggs. a 52-year-old man with ggs underwent skull and lower extremity computer tomography. radiographic findings included cervical spondylosis, transparent areas with slurred margins, and cerebral falx calcification. tibial and fibular specific cortical lesions (thin cortical and subcortical cystic lesions) were seen on the radiography, which was confirmed by computer tomography. to our knowledge, this is the first report of such a long lesion of the tibia and fibula. specific lower extremity cortical lesions (thin cortical and subcortical cystic lesions) may occur and these abnormalities can be found on radiography or ct, which are most probably attributed to retinoid treatment.
