Case report on Irritational Fibroma.

Area of Science:

• Oral pathology
• Dermatology
• Soft tissue tumors

Background:

• Traumatic fibroma arises as a consequence of chronic irritation or trauma.
• It represents a reactive hyperplastic response of soft tissues.

Observation:

• This lesion can manifest at any age.
• Common intraoral locations include the tongue, gingiva, and buccal mucosa.
• Clinical presentation is typically a slow-growing, painless mass.

Findings:

• Histologically, it is characterized by fibrous connective tissue with varying degrees of vascularity and collagenization.
• The lesion is a benign, non-neoplastic proliferation.

Implications:

• Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate from other oral lesions.
• Management often involves surgical excision.
• Understanding the etiology aids in preventive strategies by minimizing oral trauma.
