Abstract
Cherubism is a rare, non-neoplastic, genetic disorder, characterized by painless bilateral swelling of the jaws. A 5-year-old girl presented with a painless, bilateral symmetrical swelling of both mandible and maxilla. Intraoral examination revealed malocclusion with displacement of teeth and expansion of the alveolar ridges. There was a bilateral expansion of the jaws. In conclusion, cherubism is a genetic disorder that has non-neoplastic bone lesions that affect the jaws. If there is a functional or esthetic problem, it should be treated surgically. The surgical treatment is usually delayed until after puberty. Keywords: Cherubism, Multilocular radiolucency, Jaw expansion, Imaging, Computed tomography
