Palatal Fibroma - A Case-report

Abstract

Fibroma is a benign tumor of fibrous connective tissue. Fibromas represent inflammatory state rather than neoplastic conditions, which are mostly sessile or slightly pendunculated with a smooth contour, pale pink and are firm in consistency, which commonly occurs on gingiva, tongue, buccal mucosa and palate. Cinical, radiographic and histopathologic data combined with surgical findings are though essential, but it requires further studies to determine the exact nature of such fibromatous lesions. A multidisciplinary approach is needed in the management of ffibrtous lesions, so as to minimize its recurrence and to improve the quality of life, providing better functioning and esthetics.JCMS Nepal. 2016;12(1):36-9.
