چکیده
Five cases of familial and idiopathic gingival fibromatosis were reported. One case exhibited peculiar histologic features, which consisted of active growth of the fibroblastic cells. One hundred and ninety-six cases of gingival fibromatosis, whose clinical and/or pathologic findings were known, were collected from foreign literatures. The heterogeneity in gingival fibromatosis was discussed.

متن کاملGenetic heterogeneity of gingival fibromatosis on chromosome 2p.
Gingival fibromatosis (GF) occurs in several genetic forms as a simple Mendelian trait, in malformation syndromes, and in some chromosomal disorders. Specific genes responsible for GF have not been identified. An autosomal dominant form of hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF, MIM 135300) was recently mapped to chromosome 2p21 in a large Brazilian family and there was an earlier report of GF i...
