Summary

Introduction

The oral cavity is the most common site for localized reactive overgrowths. Oral fibroma, known as Traumatic fibroma, known as an irritational fibroma or focal fibrous hyperplasia, is a benign exophytic lesion that occurs because of injury. We report a case of Traumatic Fibroma of the posterior tongue. The patient further gave a history of a slow-growing swelling, that was small initially but increased in size with time He informed us that the swelling caused disturbances in normal speech and swallowing of food. The patient gavea history of traumatic bleeding of the tongue while toothbrushing two months ago. Clinical examination and investigations, a final diagnosis of Traumatic Fibroma in relation to the posterior tongue was made. The biopsy report revealed squamous epithelium with a circumscribed lesion of increased cellularity, composed of numerous thin-walled capillaries and dense collagen fibres (Figure 4). These features were suggestive of Traumatic Fibroma, confirming our diagnosis. On a 2 year follow up, no signs of relapse were observed
