The Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome is an uncommon dysmorphic syndrome characterized by preaxial and postaxial polysyndactyly and minor craniofacial anomalies. It has an autosomal dominant inheritance. A review of the literature has failed to show documentation of any dental or oral abnormalities. Therefore, we report on a patient with Greig syndrome who had a maxillary fibro-osseous lesion and multiple dental and oral abnormalities.
