Info
Bilateral rather symmetrical expanding osteolytic lesions affecting both mandibular rami with intact cortical margin and no soft tissue masses detected.
Another osteolytic lesion seen involving the left sphenoid bone and responsible for mild left proptosis.
Diagnosis: Maxillofacial fibrous dysplasia (Cherubism)
