Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an autosomal dominant inheritance disorder. Cleft lip and palate is one of the minor criteria for this syndrome. Cleft lip and palate is the most prevalent congenital maxillofacial anomaly, and a varying percentage is associated with syndromes. Present the case of a patient with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome and associated bilateral cleft lip and palate. A 12-year-old male patient was referred by the geneticist with a diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. Clinical examination revealed skin, bone, dental and neurological anomalies, as well as tumors, palmoplantar pits, mandibular prognathism and operated bilateral cleft lip and palate. It is important to examine not only features associated with the craniofacial region, but also with other parts of the body. An interdisciplinary team is required of which the odontologist should be a member. Most publications only refer to the surgical management of cysts and not to associated sequels, such as cleft lip and palate.

Palabras clave : Gorlin-Goltz syndrome; cleft lip and palate; syndromic cleft lip and palate.
