Familial gingival hyperplasia: a case of pseudo-Laband syndrome.
Three siblings with familial gingival hyperplasia and abnormal feet are reported. Despite the resemblance to the Laband syndrome, where there are anomalies of the terminal phalanges, the abnormalities of the feet in these children were caused by the persistent wearing of "flip-flop" sandals. Care is required in the conduct of history and examination.
