Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) fibroblasts are characterized by an increased production of collagen and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), resulting in a fibrotic enlargement of the gingiva of affected patients. A common feature of interstitial fibrosis is the occurrence of myofibroblasts, which are regarded as the predominant cells in matrix synthesis. The goal of this article is to describe the presence of myofibroblasts in HGF in order to elucidate the mechanisms underlying HGF gingival overgrowth.
