Presented in this paper is a clinico-pathological report of 11 cases of gingival fibromatosis. Of the 11 patients in our series, 2 cases (18.2%) with family history began to have symptom from age of 3, which is manifested by the involvement of whole gum. 9 patients (81.8%), for which the etiology was unknown, had onset of the disease at the periods of deciduous dentition, mixed dentition or permanent dentition, with localized or overall involvement of gingiva. The disease is characterized by diffuse or localized proliferation of gum. Microscopically, the proliferating gum tissue revealed well-developed fibrotic structure with few cells; and the fibers were densely arranged without clear boundary. The fibrotic tissues showed a diminishing of blood vessels and the infiltration of inflammatory cells is not conspicuous.
