Small circumscribed mesenchymal lesions of the oral mucosa are of frequent occurrence. Fibroma is a non-neoplastic enlargement of the gingival which arise from the gingival connective tissue or from the periodontal ligament. They are slow growing; a spherical tumor that tends to be firm & nodular but may be soft and vascular and usually pedunculated. Hard fibromas of the gingival are rare. We report a rare case of hard fibroma in a 65-year old male. Clinical, radiographic and histopathological features along with etiopathogenesis and differential diagnosis are also discussed.

Abstract


Small circumscribed mesenchymal lesions of the oral mucosa are of frequent occurrence. Fibroma is a non-neoplastic enlargement of the gingival which arise from the gingival connective tissue or from the periodontal ligament. They are slow growing; a spherical tumor that tends to be firm & nodular but may be soft and vascular and usually pedunculated. Hard fibromas of the gingival are rare. We report a rare case of hard fibroma in a 65-year old male. Clinical, radiographic and histopathological features along with etiopathogenesis and differential diagnosis are also discussed.
