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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
