Cherubism is a rare, fibro-osseous bone disease that affects the jaws. Bilateral enlargement of the mandible produces a full, round lower face. The skin over the cheeks stretches and pulls the lower eyelids down, exposing a thin line of sclera and eyes that are raised, seemingly heavenward. The patient in this report was diagnosed but not treated.
cherubism是一种罕见的纤维性骨病,会影响颌骨。下颌骨双侧肿大导致下脸丰满圆润。脸颊上的皮肤伸展并拉下下眼睑,露出一条薄薄的巩膜和向上抬起、看似朝天的眼睛。本报告中的患者已被诊断出,但未接受治疗。
