Abstract

This work presents a case report of a generalized form of hereditary gingival fibromatosis with hemophilia B as an accompanying disease. In the family of proband, consisting of 28 members, fibromatosis was present in 9 (4 males and 5 females). The pedigree analysis confirmed that gingival fibromatosis was transmited through three generations as an autosomal dominant trait. Neither proband, nor any other family member, showed other abnormalities. Blood coagulation tests reveald hemophilia B (Christmas disease) in the proband. The coagulogram showed prolonged kaolin cephalin time (50 seconds) and low concentration of factor IX (F IX 18%). The case report suggests that hemophilia B should be included in the list of diseases associated
with gingival fibromatosis.
