HGF can present as an isolated feature or as part of a syndrome. Recent findings report a defect in the Son of sevenless-1 gene on chromosome 2p21-p22 (HGF1) as a possible cause of this clinical presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It presents as a localized or generalized, smooth or nodular overgrowth of the gingival tissues of varying severity. It can be isolated, with autosomal dominant inheritance, or as part of a syndrome. [orpha.net]

• Chest Deformity

  A case of a 9-year-old child with hereditary gingival fibromatosis, supernumerary tooth, chest deformities, auricular cartilage deformation, joint laxity and undescended testes is described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Social Isolation

  All complained similarly of weight loss, difficulty with articulation, and social isolation. Physical examination revealed massive overgrowth of both maxillary and mandibular gingiva, as well as multiple ectopic teeth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  disorders [1] Other dental and oral problems [4] Mechanism Genetic linkage studies are among the most popular methods of study to look at the mechanism of this HGF. [ipfs.io]

• Delayed Bone Age

  In addition to HGF, both patients had short stature, subnormal growth velocity, and delayed bone age but no abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Serum prolactin levels and results of thyroid function tests were normal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Lymphocytic Infiltrate

  Underlying connective tissue showed dense fibro-collagenous tissue and mild lymphocytic infiltration. Hence, the case was diagnosed as gingival hyperplasia [Figure 4]. [jicdro.org]

If the patient's disease is treated by means of surgery, it is recommended that the patient undergoes post-surgical therapies for maintenance and periodic monitoring of gums for the sake of the possibility of re-occurrence of HGF. [8] Treatment and prognosis [ipfs.io]
