چکیده
Cherubism is a rare inherited fibro-osseous bone disease involving mainly mandible and maxilla causing prominence in the lower portion of face. A 13 yr old male child with a swelling of lower jaw since birth had bilateral multilocular radiolucencies in posterior mandible in both X-ray and CT scan. Cytology of the swelling revealed many giant cells dispersed in the stroma which was diagnosed to be cherubism. Biopsy showed large numbers of giant cells in an oval to spindloid stroma. Correlating with clinical, radiological, cytological and biopsy findings it was confirmed to be a case of cherubism. Since it is a self regressing condition after puberty no treatment was done, with a follow up every 3 months. We reported this case because of its extreme rarity.
