Localized juvenile spongiotic gingival hyperplasia (LJSGH) is a rare gingival lesion that has a distinctive form of inflammatory hyperplasia. The lesion has specific features both clinically and pathologically and it may or may not involve multiple sites. In this paper we present a case with lesion that clinically in harmony with LJSGH in upper central incisor area, confirmed by biopsy. A 13-year-old boy was referred to our Assalam Dental Center in Zliten, Libya, presented with circumscribed, erythematous overgrowth on the right maxillary incisor gingiva. With the provisional diagnosis of LJSGH, total excision of the lesion was performed. Clinical, microscopic and histopathogical examination confirmed the diagnosis of LJSGH in maxillary incisor site. The excised lesion showed no recurrence after 18 months of follow up appointments.
