## Abstract

Gingival fibromatosis is a benign oral condition characterised by a slow progressive, non-haemorrhagic, non-painful, local or generalised enlargement of the gingival tissues. Gingival fibromatosis may have a genetic basis and is frequently associated with systemic or extraoral findings. Hypertrichosis is a clinical condition characterised by excessive hair growth without androgenic stimulation. The present case report describes a case of a 16-year-old girl who presented with severe generalised gingival fibromatosis along with hypertrichosis, which was treated by gingivectomy, and uneventful postoperative healing was observed during the eight-month follow-up period.
