Abstract
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is an uncommon condition characterized by a benign, local, or diffuse gingival overgrowth. It may cover the teeth partially or totally, causing essential aesthetic, phonetic, and masticatory disorders. In this report, we discuss a case of an 11-year-old boy who presented with severe gingival enlargement. The diagnosis of HGF was made based on clinical examination and family history, with two of the patient’s brothers and his paternal aunt being affected with the same disease. The patient was managed with electrosurgery under general anesthesia.
