Cherubism: About a sporadic case
Author(s): S Benwadih, A Derdabi, B Dani and M Boulaadashas
Abstract: Cherubism: a 4-year follow-up case report and literature review. Introduction: Cherubism, or familial fibrous dysplasia of the jaws, is a rare hereditary fibro-osseous lesion that is characterized by painless expansion of jaws in childhood like it was described in 1933 by Jones. It is known to regress without treatment after puberty. Observation: Cherubism is characterized by bilateral maxillary swelling in most cases, but in our case, it’s about a 15-year-old child with no history consulted for swelling of the lower medial third of the face. Monitoring over a period of 4 years showed augmentation of the lesion during the first year followed by the regression of it right after. Discussion: Most authors recommend no treatment during the phase of osteoclasis. Drug treatments require additional studies to assess the risk-benefit. Therapeutic abstention remains the best choice for commun cases, as it is the case for our patient.
