Cherubism is an autosomal dominant fibro-osseous lesion of jaws involving more than one quadrant that stabilizes after growth period, usually leaving some facial deformity and malocclusion.Here we present a case of 7 years old male patient who came with complaint of bilateral enlargement of lower face since 4 years. A thorough physical and radiographic examination was done and a diagnosis of cherubism was made.
