Cherubism is a rare disease. It is characterized by bilateral bony enlargements of the jaws in children. Many dental abnormalities are seen. Diagnosis is typically achieved through clinical and radiographic examination. Conservative management is preferred unless there are significant concerns. This case report is used to highlight the presentation and management consideration for cherubism.
