Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a rare hereditary autosomal dominant condition, with high penetrance and variable expressivity. The aim of this study is to report 2 cases diagnosed at emergency hospital units with the specialty of maxillofacial surgery and traumatology. The first refers to a 10-year-old patient who sought consultation due to an expressive increase in the maxilla volume with panoramic radiography evidencing multiple unilocular radiolucent images in the gnathic bones.
