Abstract

Cherubism is an autosomal-dominant disorder that commonly affects young patients. Our patient a 17-year-old male presented with bilateral nontender swelling over the mandibular area and maxillary area which was insidious in onset and progressive. The diagnosis was made based on clinical and radiological features. Computed tomography of the head in bone window shows multiple lytic sclerotic expansile lesions with coarsened bony trabecular pattern giving the soap bubble appearance of bilateral mandible and maxilla. Surgical intervention was done and upon follow up patient showed drastic improvement. Based on the radiological features grading systems have been developed that help decide the management.

成像小天使：罕见颌骨畸形的放射学特征

小天使症是一种常染色体显性疾病，通常影响年轻患者。我们的病人是一名17岁的男性，表现为双侧下颌和上颌区域的非压痛性肿胀，其发病和进展是隐匿的。根据临床和放射学特征作出诊断。头部骨窗ct示多发性溶解性硬化性扩张病灶，伴粗化骨小梁型，双侧下颌骨呈肥皂泡状。手术干预后，随访患者表现出明显改善。根据放射学特征，制定了分级系统，以帮助决定管理。
