Cherubism in a 4‐Year‐Old Boy: A Clinical, Radiological, and Genetic Report

Cherubism is a rare hereditary disorder, often referred to as familial fibrous dysplasia of the jaws, and is characterized by painless, bilaterally symmetrical enlargement of the facial structures. There are various clinical manifestations, ranging from the asymptomatic to the aggressive form. Since cherubism tends to regress spontaneously over time, therapeutic decisions are primarily guided by the severity of clinical presentation and individual patient needs. This case report highlights the clinical, radiological, and genetic findings of cherubism in a 4-year-old male patient.

Abstract

Cherubism is a rare hereditary disorder, often referred to as familial fibrous dysplasia of the jaws, and is characterized by painless, bilaterally symmetrical enlargement of the facial structures. There are various clinical manifestations, ranging from the asymptomatic to the aggressive form. Since cherubism tends to regress spontaneously over time, therapeutic decisions are primarily guided by the severity of clinical presentation and individual patient needs. This case report highlights the clinical, radiological, and genetic findings of cherubism in a 4-year-old male patient.
