To describe the panoramic radiographic and CT features of cherubism in an unselected series of 15 adults.
In this cross-sectional study, 15 individuals aged 29-84 years with familial non-syndromal molecularly confirmed cherubism were examined with panoramic radiography and CT. Bone abnormalities were analysed and described.
11 (73%) of the 15 adults had mandibular abnormalities. These abnormalities ranged from subtly detectable to severe, and were less prevalent and expansive but could be rather similar to the characteristic image features in children. Unilocular radiolucencies were more common than multilocular radiolucencies, and a specific feature of these abnormalities was that they were exclusively found in the anterior mandible.
The radiographic and CT abnormalities of cherubism in adults were frequent and extremely heterogeneous, with some distinct features.
描述 15 例未经选择的成人 cherubism 的全景 X 线和 CT 特征。
在这项横断面研究中，对 15 名年龄 29-84 岁的、具有家族性非综合征分子确诊 cherubism 的个体进行了全景 X 线和 CT 检查。分析和描述了骨异常。
15 名成人中 11 名（73%）存在下颌骨异常。这些异常从细微可检测到严重不等，并且不那么普遍和广泛，但可能与儿童的特征性图像特征相当相似。单房性透亮区比多房性透亮区更常见，这些异常的一个特定特征是它们仅发生在前下颌骨。
成人 cherubism 的影像学和 CT 异常很常见且极其多样，具有一些明显的特征。
