A rare pediatric palatal fibroma, a benign oral soft tissue tumor, was diagnosed in a child. Unusual thumb-sucking trauma was identified as the likely cause of this uncommon oral fibroma.

Area of Science:

Oral Pathology
Pediatric Dentistry
Dermatology

Background:

Fibromas are common benign soft tissue tumors in the oral cavity, often resulting from chronic irritation.
Despite their prevalence, fibromas on the palate are exceptionally rare due to limited trauma exposure in this area.

Observation:

This report details a rare case of a palatal fibroma in a pediatric patient.
Clinical, radiological, and histological examinations confirmed the diagnosis.

Findings:

The palatal fibroma in this child was linked to an unusual cause of trauma: habitual thumb sucking.
This finding highlights a unique etiology for an uncommon oral lesion in a pediatric patient.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering less common etiologies for oral fibromas in children.

Keywords:

Oral habits Palatal fibroma Surgical pedodontics.
