Abstract

The growth of the jaw occurs painlessly in cherubism, a rare genetic disorder where normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue and undeveloped bone. Usually running in families, this non-cancerous genetic condition naturally reaches a limit and stops growing. The main characteristic is the aberrant growth of osseous and fibrous tissue in the maxilla and mandible, which is frequently seen in children. Cherubism is inherited autosomal dominantly, though reports have included individuals without a family history. The disorder has specific radiographic and histological features that drastically affect facial appearance. This article provides a thorough case study of a male 16-year-old with cherubism, emphasizing management techniques and clinical and radiological results. Radiological imaging is essential for diagnosis and management because it can identify the distinctive features of cherubism and the treatment implications associated with it.
