English abstract Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are epithelial developmental cysts which were first described by Phillipsen in 1956. Lesions are frequently multiple and a component of Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS) (Gorlin Goltz syndrome/Bifid rib syndrome). We hereby report a case of multiple OKCs in a non – syndromic patient and highlight the general practitioner the importance of diagnosing the disease and enforcing a strict long-term follow-up whenever such a case is identified
Portuguese abstract Os keratocistos odontogênicos são cistos de desenvolvimento que foram descritos primeiramente por Phillipsen, em 1956. As lesões são frequentemente múltiplas, sendo componentes da síndrome do carcinoma nevoide de células basais (síndrome de Gorlin, síndrome das costelas bífidas). Descreve-se um caso de keratocistos múltiplos em paciente não-sindrômico, enfatizando-se a importância do clínico geral no diagnóstico da doença e reforçando a necessidade de uma preservação a longo prazo tão logo a doença seja diagnosticada
