Abstract:

Cherubism is a benign condition affecting the maxilla and mandible; it is an autosomal dominant fibro-osseous disorder. The characteristic feature of cherubism is the “cherub” like appearance of the patients. This occurs due to multiple cystic lesions in the maxilla and mandible that gives a rounded face appearance. Here we describe a rare case of Grade III Cherubism affecting an eight year old girl. The patient was diagnosed and is currently undergoing conservative treatment.
