A 12-year-old boy was referred with a painless swelling of the labial gingiva. The swelling was caused by the antihypertensive amlodipine, which he used because of arterial hypertension due to a chronic kidney disease. The treatment consisted of discontinuation of the causative drug after which the swelling of the gingiva slowly subsided.
