Isolated soft tissue enlargements seen in the oral cavity are generally a reactive hyperplasia and rarely neoplastic. Irritation fibroma is a benign tumor of fibrous connective tissue that can be considered a reactionary connective tissue hyperplasia in response to trauma and irritation. It is a gingival lesion of reactive nature with unknown etiology. As the lesion occurs due to continuous tra...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of coexisting irritation fibroma and myofibroma in oral mucosa. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION One case with two painless, nodular masses, adjacent to each other in the buccal mucosa, was clinically examined with a provisional diagnosis of irritation fibroma, salivary gland tumors, neurofibroma and schwannoma. Histological examination of the smaller swelling...

Introduction Gingival growths are one of the most frequently encountered lesions in the oral cavity. Most of these lesions, such as irritational fibroma, pyogenic granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma and peripheral giant cell granuloma, are innocuous and rarely present with aggressive features. In majority of cases, these lesions are the result of trauma or chronic irritation. One of the inf...

Intraoral ossifying fibromas have been described in the literature since the late 1940s. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is usually a fibroma of the gingival which shows areas of calcification or ossification. It is a nonneoplastic enlargement of gingiva. Due to its clinical and histopathological similarities, some POFs are believed to develop initially as a pyogenic granuloma that undergoes...

Giant cell fibroma is a unique non neoplastic benign lesion of oral mucosa. It localised reactive proliferation fibrous connective tissue. Surprisingly, this has no specific association with chronic irritation. occurs most commonly in the first three decades life and according to Houston it female predilection. clinically presents as an asymptomatic pedunculate or sessile lump diverse confirmed...

Traumatic or irritational fibroma is a general benign exophytic tumor or neoplasm of fibrous connective tissue origin that can be considered a reactionary connective tissue hyperplasia in response to trauma and irritation. They are clinically marked by solid well-demarcated rounded, sessile, or pedunculated growths covered by normal mucosa and are a relatively uncommon lesion. Local trauma can ...
