Abstract
ABSTRACT
Benign fibrous overgrowths are often found in the oral cavity. Majority of the fibromas occurring in the oral cavity are reactive in nature and represent inflammatory hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response to local irritation or trauma rather than being a true neoplasm. True fibroma of the oral mucosa is an extremely rare benign neoplasm, only a few cases have been reported in the literature so far. Here, we report an exceptional case of relatively large true fibroma on the palate in an 80-yearold male patient, which was mimicking a hemangioma, not reported earlier in the literature.
