Abstract

Cherubism is a benign osteofibrous disorder affecting facial bones. It is produced by an abnormal functioning of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, leading to replacement of normal bone by cellular fibrous tissue and immature bone, producing painless progressive growing of the jaw, with round facial appearance. Case-report: An 11 years-old female patient is presented, with 8 years of progressive facial swelling. The clinical and radiologic diagnosis of cherubism was confirmed by molecular analysis, detecting de novo mutation in SH3BP2 gene.
