Phenytoin-induced hypertrichosis and gingival hyperplasia

Increased hair growth may be due to hirsutism or hypertrichosis. Hirsutism is the growth of excessive terminal hair in androgen-dependent areas in females, whereas, hypertrichosis is excessive hair growth anywhere in the body in both males and females. Both these entities, although similar in presentation, have varied etiologies and required a distinct diagnostic approach. Gingival or gum hyperplasia can be a presentation of various conditions including drug induced. We would like to report the case of a young boy on phenytoin who had presented to our outpatient services with increased hair growth and gingival hyperplasia.
