Abstract
Cherubism is an uncommon disease. It is characteristic of cherbic appearance owing to expansion of the jaw and is hereditary.
The lesion without familial history is virtually indistinguishable from a central giant cell granuloma of the jaw.
We reported a non familial case of cherubism in a 5-year-old girl and discussed it.
