Goldblatt and Singer (1992) described a brother and sister with gingival fibromatosis associated with craniofacial dysmorphism: relative macrocephaly, bushy eyebrows with synophrys, hypertelorism and downslanting palpebral fissures, flattened nasal bridge and hypoplastic nares, cupid-bow mouth, and highly arched palate. Autosomal recessive inheritance has been suggested for isolated gingival fibromatosis (Jorgenson and Cocker, 1974) and for a disorder with associated cherubism and other abnormalities (266270).
