Cherubism is an inherited, autosomal dominant disorder that characteristically affects the jaws of children. The disease typically manifest as a bilateral swelling with associated submandibular lymph node enlargements and usually regresses as age advances. The disease is microscopically indistinguishable from other giant cell lesions and is essentially a clinical diagnosis. The association of cherubism with gingival fibromatosis, epilepsy, mental retardation, stunted growth, and hypertrichosis is referred as Ramon syndrome. We report a case of Ramon syndrome in an 8 year old girl.
颌骨肥大症是一种遗传性常染色体显性疾病,典型地影响儿童的颌骨。该病通常表现为双侧肿胀并伴有颌下淋巴结肿大,且通常随着年龄增长而消退。在显微镜下,这种疾病与其他巨细胞病变无法区分,本质上是一种临床诊断。颌骨肥大症与牙龈纤维瘤病、癫痫、智力迟钝、生长发育迟缓及多毛症相关,被称为拉蒙综合征。我们报告一例8岁女孩患拉蒙综合征的病例。
