The most prevalent epithelial benign lesion in the oral cavity is a fibro-epithelial polyp. This type of polyp is a painless, sessile, or pedunculated knob-like growth that has a mesodermal origin. It can be pink, red, or white in color. Fibro-epithelial polyps are frequently seen on the buccal mucosa, gingiva, lips or tongue. Fibro-epithelial polyps are hyperplastic, inflammatory lesions seen in reaction to long-term discomfort from uneven denture margins, sharp teeth edges, and calculus or repairs that linger over. Rarely does a polyp like this develop before the fourth decade of life, and Its ubiquity is not gender-specific. This paper presents a case of fibro-epithelial polyp seen on the lower labial mucosa which was managed by surgical intervention.
