Abstract
CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 13-year-old boy was referred to the Oral Diagnosis Clinic (Orocentro—Piracicaba Dental School, University of Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil) for evaluation of an asymptomatic oral swelling that had been present for 7 years. According to his father, the swelling had suddenly grown recently. The clinical examination showed a well delimited bilobulated nodular lesion on the anterior region of the right-sided hard palate that measured about 2.0 1.5 cm and was nontender and firm on palpation (Figure 1). A small ulcer was noticed on the anterior lobe, probably due to contact with the lower teeth. There was no report of local trauma, the patient presented no parafunctional habits, and the medical history was noncontributory. In addition, there was no mobility of the teeth, and no radiographic changes were seen.
