Abstract
Zimmermann-Laband syndrome (ZLS) is a very rare condition characterized by gingival fibromatosis, coarse facial appearance and malformed nails or distal phalanges of hands/feet and sometimes hepatosplenomegaly [1]. The term Zimmermann-laband syndrome was for the first time given by Carl Jacob Witkop. It is attributed to be because of autosomal disease characterized by a classical triad of extensive gingival enlargement (gingival fibromatosis), abnormalities of the nose and ears, abnormaly developed nails or terminal phalanges of the hands and feet. The present case report is of a 12 year old boy who was diagnosed as ZLS based on the classical sign of gingival overgrowth.
