Abstract

In the oral cavity, fibroma is the most common type of connective tissue tumor. The size of these proliferative benign connective tissue tumors varies from tiny to large, contingent upon the degree of presence of one or more components of the inflammatory response. They are usually asymptomatic. It is a locally confined hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue brought on by persistent inflammation or local trauma. This lesion is more typically observed in men, with a preference for buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, and tongue. This lesion preferentially affects the tongue, buccal mucosa, and labial mucosa. A traumatic or irritating fibroma develops from an inflammatory hyperplastic lesion that can occur at any age and in almost any soft tissue location.
