Description

Cherubism is a painless nonneoplastic bone disease characterized by clinically bilateral symmetrical jaw enlargement. Mandibular and/or maxilla generally manifestation in childhood gradually increases until adolescence. Few cases have been reported in Japan, and only comparatively more in Europe. Genomic DNA sequence mutation of the SH3BP2 gene has been identified in subjects with cherubism, with familial occurrence reported in most cases. We report a case of nonfamilial cherubism in an 11-year-old Japanese girl diagnosed by mandibular deformities, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and pathological examination. We are taking a wait-and-see approach due to her age the grade of the lesion.<br>
