Treatment of mandibular cherubism.
A case of cherubism of the mandible with an atypical history and with the onset of the facial deformity delayed until after puberty has been reported. The patient was treated during a relatively inactive stage, which followed a year of rather active growth. The distinct facial deformities were treated by a combination of curettage and recontouring, which resulted in an improved facial appearance and elimination of the fibro-osseous lesions of the mandible.
