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.Keywords
