A Case of Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis and Hypertrichosis
Abstract
- Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is associated with other abnorma ities of which the most striking is hypertrichosis of variable degree. Gorlin and Pindborg described this condition as a distinct syndrome termed idiopathic gingival fibromatosis and hypertrichosis. We report a case of idiopathic gingival fibromatosis and hypertrichosis occuring in 34-year-old woman with enlarged gingival tissue, hypertrichosis, and enlargenment of the breasts, ears and nose. Laboratory tests including hormonal and chromosomal studies were all within normal limits. Histologically, the gingival hyperplastic tissue showed thick bundle of collagen fibers with few fibroblasts or capillaries and little or no inflammatory infiltrate.
