Cherubism is described as a rare and benign hereditary bone disease, characterized by a bilateral volumetric increase in the maxillary bones, with a greater predilection for males in childhood. Clinically, it presents as a volumetric enlargement of the mandible and, maxilla, which is generally painless, firm on palpation and varies in relation to size and extension. Its differential diagnosis is the Brown Tumor of Hyperparathyroidism and the Central Lesion of Giant Cells. The diagnosis is based on the assessment of clinical characteristics together with complementary exams. The objective of this study was to carry out a brief review of the literature and report a clinical case of this pathology in a 9-year-old child with a family history of cherubism, assessed through imaging, histopathological and karyotype exams, which continues to be assisted by the oral and maxilofacial surgery team of the Faculdade de Odontologia de Araçatuba - FOA Unesp since the treatment of the cherubism still does not have a definitive protocol.
