    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Genetics
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Cherubism is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive, bilateral, painless enlargement of the lower face.
    • Typically, cherubism presents in early childhood with symmetrical facial swelling and fibrous tissue replacement of the jawbone.

    Observation:

    • This case report describes an unusual instance of cherubism with a unilateral presentation.
    • The onset of symptoms in this patient was notably late, deviating from the typical childhood presentation.

    Findings:

    • The unilateral nature and late onset pose diagnostic challenges, differentiating it from other facial swellings.
    • A proposed classification system aims to address the complexities of diagnosing atypical cherubism presentations.
    • Discussion emphasizes the difficulties encountered in diagnosing unilateral cherubism due to its rarity and atypical features.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of cherubism's clinical spectrum and variability.
    • The proposed classification may aid clinicians in diagnosing and managing rare, unilateral cherubism cases.
    • Highlights the need for considering cherubism in the differential diagnosis of unilateral facial enlargement, even with late onset.
