Non-familial Cherubism
An 8-year-old male child presented to our outpatient department with slowly enlarging painless, symmetrical swelling of the jaw. There was no significant family history []. Mouth opening was adequate, with “v”-shaped palate. Enlargement of the jaws was hard on palpation and whole mandible was involved. Submandibular lymph node was palpable bilaterally. Skin over the swelling was normal, intact, and freely movable. The tooth present was displaced and deviated from its normal position, with multiple missing tooth both in mandible and in maxilla. Expansion of both buccal and lingual cortical plate was observed, overlying mucosa was normal [] Orthopantomograph revealed bilateral, multilocular, radiolucent lesion with thinning of cortical rims and displacement of unerupted teeth in mandible. Dental abnormality was observed more in mandible than in maxilla []. Haematological investigations were within normal limits. Histolopathological examination showed multiple multinuclated giant cells within cellular spindle cell stroma.\nOn the basis of clinical, radiological, and histolopathological examinations, the diagnosis of Cherubism was made.\nDue to expected tendency of the lesion to become static and may show regression at puberty, no surgical intervention was undertaken and the patient was kept on follow-up.
