Irritation Fibroma (Traumatic Fibroma)

Description:
- Slow-growing fibrous, localized, peripheral, tumorlike enlargement of connective tissue appear as nodules on the oral mucosa, resulting from irritation caused by cheek biting or objects such as dentures and fillings.
- Most commonly occurs in the Buccal Mucosa "Especially along the line of occlusion" but can also be found on the tongue and the lips.
- It's considered to be the most common Oral Soft tissue Lesion.
- The colour will be such as the surrounding mucosa "No Inflammation are noticed around".
- The consistency is surprisingly soft.
- Another unique variant of denture-related fibromas is the epulis fissuratum. "Press to read more about it".
- Another rather unique fibrous hyperplasia is the giant cell fibroma.

Histology:
- Histologically, they exhibit fibrous hyperplasia that is collagenous and acellular.

Radiography:

- Soft Tissue Lesions do not appear in radiographs.

Prognosis:
- Good.


Differential Diagnosis:
- Salivary gland tumors and other soft tissue tumors may have a similar appearance but are usually more firm. - Other lesions such as mucocele may also resemble traumatic fibroma.


Treatment:
- Irritation fibroma and other localized fibrous hyperplasias are easily removed by conservative surgical excision, with no need to remove a margin of surrounding normal mucosa.
- Recurrence is unlikely unless the inciting trauma continues or is repeated.
