“…[11] Cherubism generally have a good prognosis as the condition starts regressing at puberty, with resolution of bony lesions resulting in a normal jaw configuration. [4] Familial gigantiform cementoma, Brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism, and Fibrous dysplasia shows similar features radiographically, thus are included in differential diagnosis of cherubism.…”

“…[3] Although sporadic cases with no familial history have been described. [4] Mangion and Tiziani et al described that mutation of the gene located on chromosome 4p16.3 is responsible for cherubism, also a point mutation in SH3BP2 gene was detected. [5] Characteristic features of cherubism are painless swelling of the jaw bones with proportioned involvement of the maxilla and mandible.…”

Cherubism is an uncommon benign hereditary disease of autosomal dominant inheritance, affecting the maxilla and mandible. This condition presents with bilateral enlargement of jaws, where bone is replaced by fibrovascular tissue. This condition is usually painless and presents in children during 2-5 years of age. The clinician should be aware of clinical and radiographic features of this condition for a better differential diagnosis, as it mimics the other giant cell lesions radiologically. The current case report elucidates cherubism in a 15-year-old male patient, presented with bilateral mandibular enlargement, highlighting the cone beam computed tomography features.

“…Cherubism is a non-neoplastic, hereditary, jaw disease of the childhood characterized by painless, bilateral symmetrical enlargements [1][2][3][4][5]. The name cherubism was used to describe active and intelligent children with normal interests and social curiosity but their facial profile was characterized by a rounded appearance with an upward gaze [1].…”

“…The upward gaze or 'eyes to heaven' results from lower lid retraction in relation to the diffuse enlargement of the lower half of the face or to an upward displacement of the eye from a mass involving the orbital floor [1,6]. Although familial in onset, cherubism may also occur sporadically [2,3]. Transmission may either be of maternal or paternal in origin, however, the disease manifest early in the former mode of transmission [5].…”

Cherubism is an inherited, autosomal dominant disorder that characteristically affects the jaws of children. The disease typically manifest as a bilateral swelling with associated submandibular lymph node enlargements and usually regresses as age advances. The disease is microscopically indistinguishable from other giant cell lesions and is essentially a clinical diagnosis. The association of cherubism with gingival fibromatosis, epilepsy, mental retardation, stunted growth, and hypertrichosis is referred as Ramon syndrome. We report a case of Ramon syndrome in an 8 year old girl.
