note

I do not know anything about this condition, so I can not do the correct changes myself. However, the text should be broken up into shorter paragraphs.--109.124.131.251 (talk) 12:36, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May I suggest and amendment to the sentence "The appearance of people with the disorder is caused by a loss of bone in the mandible which the body replaces with excessive amounts of tissue".

X-ray examination usually reveals multilocular cystic changes in the mandible AND maxilla and often in the anterior ends of the ribs. Danensis 21:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can somebody find a picture of a Cherubism-sufferer? This page doesn't have a single photograph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.13.16.178 (talk) 01:20, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy dispute

The below text was removed from the article. It was added by an unregistered user:

The disease is actually quite noticeable prior to the child's second birthday.
Dr.Wm. Jones was not the surgeon. He was a radiologist teaching at Kingston's Queens University and practicing at Kingston General Hospital. It was he who took my family under his wing (I'm the youngest child of the subject family) and found a Dr. Gary who was a surgeon in Montreal to experiment with surgery on my 3 siblings that the disease had grown in. I and the brother next in age to me had the disease, however it did not affect our jaws. I fathered 2 children, a girl and a boy. The girl had severe growth of the disease which required 4 surgeries performed by Dr. Ian Munro at Toronto Sick Kids Hospital and later at Humana Hospital in Dallas. The surgeries on my siblings and my daughter made a remarkable difference in their lives. My eldest brother had 6 children, 2 of which had severe growth of their jaws.

If anyone could substantiate these claims with sources, it would improve the historical accuracy of the article. --Iamozy (talk) 16:52, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
