A description is made of a Brazilian family of white ancestry in which five individuals presented the fibrous dysplasia of the jaws known as cherubism. The information obtained involves seven generations in a total of 75 individuals. 23 of these were examined by the authors and a report about a deceased person was confirmed by photograph. The affection in this family is probably conditioned by an autosomal dominant gene with variable expressivity.
