Description
Faizal Manrapi and colleagues present a 2026 case report of a fifteen-year-old boy with several cysts in his jaws. Such cysts, called odontogenic keratocysts, can appear alone, but many at once in a young patient point to an inherited syndrome. His left jaw had been swelling for nine months before he reached a dental hospital in Indonesia.
Scans showed cysts in both upper and lower jaws, with teeth trapped inside the bone. A chest image showed a split rib, and a head scan showed hardened tissue in the brain's midline fold. Tissue tests confirmed the cyst type, and the full picture fit Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. Surgeons removed the cysts in stages, and early scans showed new bone forming. The authors stress careful checks for the syndrome whenever teens show many jaw cysts.
