Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 9

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is a rare condition of undetermined cause. Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF) is synonymously known as-Gingivomatosis, diffuse fibromas, Idiopathic fibromatosis, familial elephantiasis, and congenital familial fibromatosis.It may be localized lesion or generalized. Genetic cause has been implicated as its etiology with several genes and mutations and sometimes associated with syndromes or drugs but isolated cases are also reported and their etiology often remains unknown. This case report describes a rare case of long standing massive gingival enlargement in a systemically healthy, nonsyndromic young male involving both the arches, thereby posing a diagnostic dilemma.
