Abstract

A case of a Gorlin-Goltz-syndrome with anomalies of the stapes and incus of one ear is described for the first time. In the reported case, the hand-foot-uterus-syndrome could be recognised simultaneously. In the literature, about 250 cases of the syndrome are known, first published by Gorlin and Goltz in 1960. Malformations of the middle ear, however, have not yet been described in the Gorlin-Goltz-syndrome. As in the reported case both of the syndromes, the Gorlin-Goltz-syndrome and the hand-foot-uterus-syndrome, could be diagnosed, it must be discussed whether there are two independent syndromes or only one syndrome of polyvalent malformations characterised by variable expressivity.
