Abstract:
Familial gingival fibromatosis affecting six members among three generations of an Islamic family is reported. Clinical findings are reported and the inheritance pattern is discussed. Histopathologic examination of the excised tissue revealed mainly fibroblasts with prominent, rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum. Cells with vesicular nuclei, resembling mast cells, were also observed.
