A Rare Case of Gingival Fibromatosis Associated with Hypertrichosis and a Dysmorphic Face

Abstract

Several forms of hypertrichosis have been described with and without gingival hyperplasia; some of them are recognized as genetic disorder and associated with syndromes. In all reported cases the most striking differences from other are the craniofacial features. We present a case of a 6-year-old boy with hypertrichosis associated with gingival hyperplasia and a characteristic, coarse face and we consider this case to be a distinctive entity.
