familial fibrous dysplasia-of jaws(cherubism)

During my clinical practice,i have encountered a few months ago the son of  first woman (41 yrs in yellow).when enquired about the family history,similiar symptoms were found among other members.

thanks to the internet that i have found the data regarding the disease and started the study about this disease,and this was found out to be the familial fibrous dysplasia of jaw bones,often termed as cherubism.
