Tanvi Phull, Harmesh Sharma, Sunidhi Gandhi, Himanshi Modi, Kiran G M

Fibromas are benign tumors of connective tissue common in the oral cavity. Traumatic or irritation flbroma can be seen at any oral site and characteristically appears as an elevated nodule of normal color with a smooth surface occurring most commonly in third to fifth decades with more predilection for females. It is the healed end product of the inflammatory hyperplastic lesion. Sites most commonly involved are buccal mucosa, any soft tissue site, tongue, gingiva. It is the most common reactive lesion, and the treatment of choice is surgical excision. A 58-yearold female was examined for a sixmonth- old solitary swelling measuring approximately 2.5x1.2x1 cm in the anterior gingival region of maxillary arch. Histopathological and radiographic examination are essential tools in diagnosis accurately as it clinically resembles various lesions such as peripheral giant cell granuloma, pyogenic granuloma or odontogenic tumors.
