Cherubism

Cherubism is an autosomal recessive or dominant disease of childhood and adolescens caused by mutations of the SH3BP2 gene. It is characterized by autoinflammatory fibroosseous enlargement of manidible and maxilla. Regression occurs in the 3rd decase, so that by the age of 30 everything is normal.
