  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cherubism is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disorder.
  • It is characterized by bilateral, symmetrical enlargement of the jawbones.
  • This condition is a type of fibro-osseous lesion.

Observation:

  • The case presents a patient diagnosed with cherubism.
  • Bilateral mandibular enlargement was observed, leading to a full, rounded lower facial appearance.
