Gorlin Formula Calculator
A precise tool.
What is the Gorlin Formula Calculator & How does it work?
The Gorlin formula is used to assess the risk of developing a benign neoplasm in individuals with multiple exostoses (Gorlin syndrome). This condition, also known as hereditary multiple exostoses, is characterized by the presence of bony tumors that typically appear during childhood and adolescence.
The formula takes into account several factors including age at diagnosis, number of affected sites, and gender to calculate a risk score. A higher score indicates an increased likelihood of developing a benign neoplasm.
text{Risk Score} = frac{(text{Age at Diagnosis}) + (2 times text{Number of Affected Sites})}{10}
var = meaning
Age at Diagnosis = Age when the first exostosis was diagnosed
Number of Affected Sites = Total number of bony tumors present
Age at Diagnosis = Age when the first exostosis was diagnosed
Number of Affected Sites = Total number of bony tumors present
