Vijay Lal, Manab Kosala, Dhruv Dubey, Mohinder Panwar

Abstract :

Zimmermann-Laband syndrome (ZLS) is a very rare condition characterized by gingival fiomatosis, coarse facial appearance and malformed  nails or distal phalanges of hands/ feet and sometimes hepatosplenomegaly¹. 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 fiomatosis), abnormalities of the nose and ears, abnormally developed nails or terminal phalanges of the hands and feet. The present case report is of a 12year old boy who was diagnosed as ZLS based on the classical sign of gingival overgrowth.
