| Popis: | Cherubism is a rare developmental condition of the gnathic bones that is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity. An 11-year-old girl was referred because of an asymptomatic bilateral facial progressive swelling. Medical history was noncontributory. Locoregional physical examination revealed a bilateral firm swelling in the cheek and retromolar area covered by normal skin and normal oral mucosa, respectively. Panoramic radiograph and cone beam computed tomography scans showed bilateral extensive multilocular lesions in the mandibular posterior areas. Clinical diagnosis was cherubism, and histologic analysis of the specimen obtained by an incisional biopsy confirmed this hypothesis. The patient has been followed up and is under orthodontic treatment with satisfactory results. |
