Abstract
A case of a 25-year-old man appearing with generalized gingival enlargement is reported here. Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) was provisionally diagnosed by histopathologic analysis of tissue excised by gingivectomy and later confirmed by quantitative enzyme assay. Correlation between clinical features and histopathologic and biochemical analysis enabled the diagnosis of NPD type C.
