Abstract

Increase in size of gingiva is termed as gingival enlargement or gingival overgrowth; characterized by expansion and accumulation of the connective tissue. Enlargement of gingiva can be classified according to etiology, pathogenesis, location, and distribution. Many forms of gingival Hyperplasia are of unknown etiology and termed as idiopathic gingival fibromatosis. Gingival fibromatosis is classified as two types according to its form. The localized nodular form is characterized by the presence of multiple localized enlargements in the gingiva and the other one is most common symmetric form results in uniform enlargement of the gingiva. Our aim in this case report is to present a very interesting case of patient with the unusual clinical forms of unilateral gingival fibromatosis and to discuss the histopathological and clinical features in comparison to similar enlargements.
