• Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF), also known as idiopathic gingival hyperplasia, is a rare condition of gingival overgrowth. (wikipedia.org)
  • Idiopathic multicentric osteolysis (IMO) has many synonyms, including hereditary multicentric osteolysis, carpal and tarsal osteolysis, acro-osteolysis, and idiopathic multicentric osteolysis. (medscape.com)
  • Specific linkage studies have localized the mutation for isolated, nonsyndromic autosomal dominant forms of gingival fibromatosis to chromosomes 2 and 5, more specifically 2p21-p22 and 5q13-q22. (wikipedia.org)
  • Inflammation Hormonal Imbalance Neoplasia More commonly associated with an autosomal dominant gene inheritance Multi-system syndromes: Zimmerman-Laband syndrome, Jones syndrome, Ramon syndrome, Rutherford syndrome, juvenile hyaline fibromatosis, systemic infantile hyalinosis, and mannosidosis Some unknown causes Genetic linkage studies are among the most popular methods of study to look at the mechanism of this HGF. (wikipedia.org)
  • The Gingival Fibromatosis (GF) is described as a rare oral condition, clinically manifested by a slow, progressive, diffuse, and benign growth of gingival tissues. (bvsalud.org)
  • While the terminology implies a benign neoplasm, most if not all fibromas represent reactive focal fibrous hyperplasia due to trauma or local irritation. (medscape.com)
  • There also may or may not be any signs of medical and/or family history of mental retardation, hypertrichosis, nor clinical symptoms that can be associated with gingival enlargement. (wikipedia.org)
  • This paper proposes a review of the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of gingival fibromatosis and reports a severe case of this condition that was surgically treated. (bvsalud.org)
  • Although the term focal fibrous hyperplasia more accurately describes the clinical appearance and pathogenesis of this entity, it is not commonly used. (medscape.com)
  • For example, the term epulis fissuratum refers to epithelial and fibrous hyperplasia specifically related to, and the result of, trauma from the border of a removable denture. (medscape.com)
  • Depending on the severity of each case, GF may result in significant functional and aesthetic disorders, mainly related to the difficulty of cleaning, speech and swallowing due to formation of large gingival tissue masses. (bvsalud.org)
