Hereditary gingivo-fibromatosis

Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis Associated With Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis: A Case Report

“…1 Gingival fibromatosis may also be observed together with a wide variety of genetically inherited disorders, such as cherubism, hypertrichosis, sensorineural hearing loss, Laband syndrome, Ramon syndrome associated with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome, and psychomotor retardation. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] In addition to these systemic conditions, HGF has also been reported to occur with other intraoral/dental pathologies, such as supernumerary teeth 10 and histopathologic premalignancy characterized with epithelial dysplasia.…”

Autosomal recessive gingival fibromatosis with distinctive facies

“…1954, Fletcher 1966, Jorgenson & Cocker 1974. In the most severe cases, the hyperplastic gingival tissue may evert the lips and prevent their closure (Zackin & Weisberger 1961, Winstock 1964. The eruption of teeth within bone tends to be normal, even when there is partial or complete gingival coverage of the dentition (Fletcher 1966).…”

Familial gingival fibromatosis: An unusual pathology

“…On the other hand, the microscopical appearances of all the lesions described here dilfer from the generally accepted pathology of gingival fibromatosis, in which the lesions eonsist of eoarse bundles of mature, relatively acellular collageti running in all directions. A typical example of the usual type of lesion, from a patient pteviously reported by one of us (Winstock 1964), is shown in Figs. 12 and 13.…”
