ABSTRACT
An irritative fibroma of the oral cavity can be defined as a benign tumor of connective tissue. They usually occur in the oral cavity, with the most common sites being the buccal mucosa and tongue. However, reported cases over the hard palate are few. Irritant or reactive fibromas are brought upon by recurrent, mildly intense stimulation of the oral mucosa. This can be because of repeated tobacco chewing, ill-fitted dentures, intentional or unintentional biting, sharp teeth, and so on. Because, clinically, fibromas resemble the features of other benign or reactive tumors, histological examination is required for the appropriate management of the same. Here, we describe a case of an irritative fibroma of the hard palate in a 61-year-old female. The patient had a history of betel nut and tobacco chewing for 30 years. The patient was evaluated and underwent complete excision for the same. The base of the lesion was cauterized to prevent recurrence.
