Giant maxillary gingival fibromatosis

Area of Science:

• Oral Surgery
• Maxillofacial Surgery
• Pathology

Background:

• Gingival fibromatosis is a benign condition characterized by non-neoplastic fibrous overgrowth of the gingiva.
• Giant maxillary gingival fibromatosis is an exceptionally rare and severe presentation of this condition.
• Management typically involves surgical excision, but recurrence is possible.

Observation:

• A case of unusually severe giant maxillary gingival fibromatosis is presented.
• The condition significantly impacted oral function and aesthetics.
• Clinical imaging was utilized for diagnosis and surgical planning.

Findings:

• The presented case demonstrates a rare and severe manifestation of gingival fibromatosis.
• Successful surgical management was achieved, with detailed discussion of the procedure.
• This case underscores the importance of considering rare pathologies in the differential diagnosis.

Implications:

• This case highlights the intersection of oral surgery and maxillofacial surgery in managing complex gingival conditions.
• Understanding and recognizing severe presentations of gingival fibromatosis is crucial for effective treatment.
• The findings contribute to the literature on rare oral pathologies and their surgical management.
