Non-familial cherubism: clinical and radiological findings.
Cherubism is a rare, self-limiting, usually hereditary, benign fibro-osseous disease mostly affecting the jaws of the paediatric population. The disease is characterised by bilateral, diffuse and multilocular bony enlargement of the mandible and maxilla, and a tendency towards spontaneous remission. It has a typical radiographic and histopathological appearance. We present a case of a 9-year-old child lacking family history of this genetic disorder.
