description The gingival fibromatosis is a slow and progressive  benign proliferation, which affects the gingival tissues.  It may present a genetic inheritance and association  with some syndromes. There are conservative and  radical treatments, ranging from hygiene care to bloc  resection of the affected bone. This case scenario is a  07 year-old child, who presented a nodular unilateral  hyperplastic lesion in the right mandible, with sessile  base and approximately 5 cm in its largest diameter.  The patient presented difficulty of lip closure and slight  swelling in the right area of the face. The tomographic  image showed infiltration in buccal and lingual  cortical of right mandible and tooth displacement.  After lesion removal, the histopathologic diagnosis of  fibromatosis was confirmed, with no relapse after 20  months of follow-up.
