Which lesion occurs in teenagers and has a 'soap bubble' appearance radiographically?

Odontoma
Cherubism
Central Giant Cell Granuloma
Osteoma

The correct answer is: Cherubism

Cherubism is a rare genetic disorder that is most commonly seen in teenagers. It typically presents as painless, bilateral swelling of the mandible and maxilla. On radiographs, the lesions have a distinctive 'soap bubble' appearance. Options A, C, and D are all different types of jaw lesions, but they do not have the characteristic 'soap bubble' appearance seen in Cherubism. Odontoma is a benign tumor of odontogenic origin, Central Giant Cell Granuloma is a lesion characterized by multinucleated giant cells, and Osteoma is a benign tumor of bone tissue. These lesions may present with similar features, but they do not have the characteristic radiographic appearance of Cherubism. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
