An 8-year-old boy with progressive painless and symmetric bilateral facial enlargement. a Translucent cone beam CT (CBCT) thick-slab reconstruction shows well-defined bilateral multilocular radiolucencies with deformation and symmetric bilateral enlargement of the mandible and maxilla, and dental abnormalities (displaced permanent teeth and unerupted first molars). Axial (b) and coronal (c) CBCT images show multilocular pseudocystic osteolytic lesions with a few irregular bony septa (asterisks), no periosteal reaction, teeth displacement and inferior alveolar nerve canal invasion. d Hypertrophic osteolytic mandibular and maxillary lesions typical of cherub face as seen on the three-dimensional CBCT reconstruction
