Resumen

MSOMI, Monica S.  y  DLAMINI, Nondumiso N.. Cherubism: A case report. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.1, pp.1-3. ISSN 2078-6778.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v21i1.1118.

Cherubism is rarely described in the African paediatric population. Orphanet currently lists cherubism as a rare disease; its prevalence is unknown and difficult to determine because of the wide clinical spectrum. Approximately 300 cases have been reported in various ethnic groups worldwide. This report analyses a child referred to our hospital for bilateral jaw swelling, diagnosed with cherubism based on clinical and radiological findings, and confirmed on histology.
