abstract: A case of 4 a year old girl with the complaint of delayed eruption of teeth is presented. She had moderate to severe, diffuse gingival enlargement in the maxilla and mandible. No deciduous teeth had erupted even at the age of five years except for incisal edges of upper, and lower anterior teeth. The diagnosis was made based on clinical examination and after ruling out drug and family history. Surgical removal of the hyperplastic tissue was done under general anesthesia.
