Zusammenfassung:Gorlin–Goltz syndrome (basal cell nevus syndromes) is an uncommon, autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by developing basal cell carcinomas from a young age. Other distinct clinical features include keratocystic odontogenic tumors, dyskeratotic palmar and plantar pitting, and skeletal abnormalities. Clinicopathological findings of the syndrome are very diverse, and many symptoms manifest during a certain period of life. We present the compelling whole-body bone scan and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings in a 32-year-old man with odontogenic keratocyst, early-onset basal cell carcinoma, multiple ectopic calcifications in extremities, calcified falx cerebri, spinal scoliosis, macrocephaly, and ocular hypertelorism.
