Cherubism, a rare genetic disorder, can exhibit unusual growth patterns. This case highlights unexpected unilateral lesion expansion and vascular proliferation following surgical intervention, prompting a review of treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Genetics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cherubism is a rare, benign autosomal dominant disorder characterized by bilateral, symmetrical fibro-osseous masses of the jaw.
  • First described by Jones in 1933, cherubism typically presents in early childhood and stabilizes in adulthood.

Observation:

  • A case of cherubism is presented where the disease course deviated significantly from the norm during treatment.
  • The cherubic lesion exhibited rapid unilateral growth and notable vascular proliferation subsequent to surgical recontouring.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention, specifically recontouring, appeared to activate or exacerbate the cherubic lesion.
  • The observed vascular transformation suggests a potential mechanism for the accelerated and unilateral growth pattern.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering atypical presentations and potential treatment-induced changes in cherubism management.
  • Further research into the vascular dynamics and cellular responses within cherubic lesions post-surgery is warranted.
  • Treatment strategies for cherubism may need to be individualized to account for such unpredictable responses.
