Abstract

Fibromatosis may be defined as diffuse poorly circumscribed overgrowth of the fibrous tissue that infiltrates adjacent normal tissues. They are difficult to eradicate surgically, and recur but not metastasize. Gingival fibromatosis is generally regarded as a disease that leads to an extensively diffuse and remarkable hyperplasia of the maxillo-mandibular gingiva. Occasionally, this lesion covers all teeth. The histogenesis of the fibromatosis remains unexplained. Trauma, endocrine, idiopathic factors and genetic factors have been implicated, but it is uncertain whether any of then play a major role in the development of the disease. Occasional cases with familial history have been reported. The treatment of choice would appear to been block resection of the tumor and surrounding normal structures. Although, this lesion has a high recurrent rate. For this reason, in many of the case reports, that it has been recommended that the follow up period is considerably less than three years.
