Unusual Cases with the complaint of swollen gums in the region of left upper and lower back teeth since 2years of are presented. They had moderate to severe, unilateral diffuse gingival enlargement in the maxilla and mandible. The diagnosis was made based on clinical and histopathological examination after ruling out drug and family history. Surgical removal of the hyperplastic tissue was done.
