We present a case of Gorlin–Goltz syndrome (GGS) in a patient who developed medulloblastoma, osteosarcoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, basal cell carcinoma, and odontogenic keratocyst by the age of 19 years. He had no known family history and no characteristic physical features of GGS. A frameshift mutation in the PTCH1 gene was found in the oral mucosa as a low-frequency mosaicism, basal cell carcinoma, and normal skin by whole-exome sequencing of cancer susceptibility genes. Setting a therapeutic strategy with regard to second cancer development is important for pediatric cancer patients who have a background of cancer predisposition. Advances in comprehensive multigenetic analysis are anticipated to aid in developing such a strategy.
