Abstract :
The benign and exophytic-looking irritation
fibroma, also known as traumatic fibroma, is a frequent
oral lesion. It can appear at any age and develops as a
result of tissue damage. It is the final result of the
inflammatory hyperplastic lesion after healing. The
buccal mucosa, any soft tissue location, tongue, and
gingiva are the most often affected sites. There is a
preference for women. The preferred course of treatment
for this reactive lesion is surgical excision. The purpose of
this case report is to describe a benign lesion in a 54-yearold female patient who visited the department
complaining of pain and swelling around the right upper
front tooth for five months. Upon examination, the lesion
was found to be well-circumscribed, smooth, firm, and
reddish pink swelling measuring 0.5cmX0.5cm in the area
of the right canine and premolar. Using a diode laser, the
lesion was removed. One month after surgery, there was
no sign of a recurrence. As it clinically mimics numerous
illnesses including peripheral giant cell granuloma,
pyogenic granuloma, or odontogenic tumours,
histopathological testing is crucial for appropriate
diagnosis.
