Having had the occasion of observing a new case, the authors have started on a new description of a specific autosomal dominant inheritance disease, description which connects an eye trouble with basal cell nevi, with jaw cysts as well as with malformations of the skeleton and nervous lesions, the tumoral lesions having the essential characteristic of possessing and evolutive potential. The authors explain the reasons which have led them to give to this specific disease the name of Gorlin-Goltz phacomatosis.

The occurrence of central nervous system malignancies is relatively low; however, these tumors exhibit poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. On epidemiological grounds, Hungary was placed in the last third among European countries: in the last decade annually 750 to 1000 new cases were diagnosed and the number of deaths was between 550 and 690, without any apparent trends. Age distribution analyses revealed childhood peak and a higher peak at around 65 years of age.

Hereditary ovarian tumour syndromes are a diverse group of hereditary syndromes characterised by the development of specific histotypes of ovarian neoplasms. While BRCA syndromes are exclusively associated with high-grade serous carcinomas, patients with Lynch syndrome show a preponderance of endometrioid subtype of ovarian and endometrial carcinomas. Distinct non-epithelial phenotypes, such as sex cord stromal tumours with annular tubules, Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours, and small cell carcinoma of the hypercalcaemic type occur in patients with Peutz-Jeghers, DICER1, and rhabdoid tumour predisposition syndromes, respectively.

The Dutch ophthalmologist, Jan van der Hoeve, first introduced the terms phakoma/phakomata (from the old Greek word "ϕαχοσ" = lentil, spot, lens-shaped) to define similar retinal lesions recorded in tuberous sclerosis (1920) and in neurofibromatosis (1923). He later applied this concept: (a) to similar lesions in other organs (e.g.

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a high degree of penetrance and variable expressivity. It is a rare phakomatosis characterized by multiple odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs), bifid ribs, and other abnormalities. The incidence of the GGS is estimated at 1 in 57,000-1 in 256,000 in the general population.

Inherited cancer syndromes often involve the central and peripheral nervous system. For the surgical neuropathologist the possibility in individual patients of a familial tumour syndrome needs to be considered in the case of special tumours such as malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST), medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity (MBEN) or even atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour (AT/RT) of the brain. Furthermore, tumour location and patient age may point to a familial tumour syndrome as in the case of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) with typical bilateral vestibular schwannoma in young age.
