Resumen

Introduction: Cherubism is a rare, non-neoplastic, self-limiting, fibro-osseous disease, characterized by painless expansion of the maxilla, mandible or both. It usually develops in the first and second year of life. The radiographic appearance presentation is ordinarily bilateral, multilocular appearance in the mandible. To the best of our knowledge, very few cases (less than ten) of non-familial cherubism have been reported in the English literature. Objective: To describe non-familial case of cherubism in a 10-year-old child. Materials and methods: The current case was clinically, radiographically and histopathologically analysed for confirmatory diagnosis. Results: H & E stained section showed vascular and cellular stroma containing numerous multinucleated giant cells. Conclusion: Correlating radiographically and histopathologically the case was finally diagnosed as non-familial variant of cherubism.
