Abstract: Fibroma is a benign fibrous tissue growth that develops as reactive hyperplasia to trauma or local irritation. It is usually characterized by slow growing, painless, firm, nodular mass merging with the colour of surrounding tissue. It is mainly seen in the region of buccal mucosa, along the plane of occlusion of maxillary and mandibular teeth, tongue, gingiva and hard palate. On clinical examination it resembles pyogenic granuloma, peripheral giant cell granuloma.
