Cherubism is a rare benign hereditary fibro-osseous disease involving the mandible and maxilla. We report a case of cherubism in a 10-year-old girl for which the panoramic radiograph was insufficient for diagnosis of the disease. Clinical, histological, and radiological findings were discussed. The CT was taken and it confirmed not only the involvement of the jaws but also of the temporal bone. This was not found in the conventional radiograph.
cherubism是一种罕见的良性遗传性纤维骨疾病，累及下颌骨和上颌骨。我们报告一例10岁女孩的cherubism病例，其全景X线片不足以诊断该疾病。对临床、组织学和放射学检查结果进行了讨论。进行了CT检查，结果不仅证实了颌骨受累，还发现颞骨也受累，而这在传统X线片中未发现。
