Abstract

An unusual presentation of cherubism is reported owing to the initial unilateral nature and late onset of occurrence. A classification for cherubism is proposed and the difficulty in diagnosis of unilateral cases is discussed.

Cherubism: long-term follow-up of 2 patients in whom it regressed without treatment.

Cherubism is a rare hereditary, self-limiting fibrous dysplasia characterised by painless enlargement of the jaws in childhood. Although, it is accepted that the lesions of cherubism are eventually replaced by bone, there have been few long-term follow-up reports with clinicoradiographic documentation of spontaneous remission of the disease, without treatment. We report two cases of cherubic boys who were followed for 17 and 19 years. Clinicoradiographic examination during this period showed regression of the disease without surgical correction.

Radiographic, CT and MRI features of cherubism.

Cherubism is a paediatric disease affecting the jaws. It is a close radiological mimic of giant cell lesions of the mandible. The radiographic features of this condition are well known; however, the MR imaging features have not been well described. We describe the radiographic, CT and MR imaging features of cherubism in a 5-year-old girl. We highlight the MR appearances of cherubic lesions and the ability of MRI to not only accurately depict the anatomical extent of the lesions, but also to reveal signal intensity changes in those areas that are apparently normal on radiographs and CT images.
