“…[3] The HGF is a rare disease affecting only 1 in 750,000 people. [4] Usually it is an isolated disorder, but it may be associated with epilepsy, hypertrichosis, and mental retardation[56] or it can develop as a part of syndromes like Cowden's syndrome,[7] Zimmerman-Laband syndrome,[8] and Murray-Puretic syndrome.

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition that can occur as an isolated disease, chromosomal abnormality, or as part of a number of syndromes. The gingival enlargement in HGF can be so severe that it can cover the crowns of teeth completely, causing severe functional derangement and facial disfigurement. Through review of literature revealed that HGF is usually an autosomal dominant condition, however the recessive forms are also reported. The hyperplastic gingiva is firm on palpation and has normal color with abundant stippling on the adjacent gingiva. The buccal and lingual gingiva may be involved in both the mandible and maxilla. The degrees of gingival enlargement show both intra- and interindividual variations. Here, an interesting case report of massive HGF has been presented.

“…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. 11 Isolated (non-syndromic) HGF can be caused by mutation of the SOS1 gene, 12 but the existence of genetic heterogeneity for HGF indicates that mutations of other genes can also cause the condition.…”

This is the first report of hereditary gingival fibromatosis associated with aggressive periodontitis. Combined treatment comprising removal of fibrotic gingival tissue and traditional flap surgery for the elimination of intrabony defects represents a unique treatment approach in periodontal therapy. Two-year follow-up revealed that both the gingival overgrowth and the destructive lesions were successfully treated.

Hypertrichosis of the elbow region may be the only abnormality in hypertrichosis cubiti (hairy elbow syndrome). Only 6 cases have been reported; 2 Amish sibs also had additional short stature and, in the most recent case report, a patient had asymmetry of the face, generalized hypotonia, ptosis, epicanthic folds, highly arched palate, and delayed growth and development. The child reported here also had asymmetry of facial growth, ptosis, delayed speech development, and hypertrichosis in a patchy distribution which included the elbow regions, face, trunk, and thighs. There was no family history of hypertrichosis, and the karyotype of cultured fibroblasts was normal in the skin of an area of hypertrichosis. These patients appear to have a distinct condition compared to other hypertrichosis syndromes.

Gingival Fibromatosis with Hypertrichosis

Abstract: A case of gingival fibromatosis with hypertrichosis is reported in a 3-year-old girl. Partial recurrence was observed 6 months after surgical treatment. Psychological benefits resulting from the cosmetic improvement may outweigh the probability of recurrences in this rare condition.
