title: [A diagnostic protocol in cherubism].
abstract: Cherubism is a rare hereditary maxillo-facial pathology with unknown pathogenesis. The purpose of the present study is to describe a correct diagnostic approach to cherubism, especially for the differential diagnosis with other maxillo-mandibular cystic diseases. Therefore, the typical clinical, radiological, genetical and histopathological aspects of this pathology are examined. Moreover, an adequate therapy for the cases examined in this study is suggested.
