LD24.22 Cherubism

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

Cherubism is a benign fibro-osseous hereditary disorder of childhood, limited to the lower half of the face, the maxilla and particularly the mandible, with bilateral painless swelling of jaws (giving the so-called cherubic look) associated with multicystic bone tumours and eyes-to-heaven appearance. Dentition is also abnormal at the sites concerned: tooth agenesis, noneruption, displacement, root resorption and malocclusions are common.
