OFM has an unknown aetiology and predominantly presents in the fourth and fifth decades. The pathogenesis of OFM may be due to fibroblast overproduction of hyaluronic acid. Clinically, it remains almost impossible to diagnose definitively, due to its lack of pathognomonic features, therefore such lesions may have multiple differen… Show more

“…Ao exame clínico intraoral observou-se lesão nodular, assintomática, pediculada, de consistência firme, com coloração avermelhada, medindo aproximadamente 1,3 cm em seu maior diâmetro (figura 1). Como exame Os autores destacaram em seu levantamento bibliográfico, dez casos relatados de MOF em pacientes menores de 18 anos (ALDRED 2003;BUCHNER 1990;CAMERON et al, 2020;CHO;SHUOACK;MICHAELS,2019;CUNHA, et al, 2021;GNEPP et al, 1990;TOMICH, 1974;LEE et al, 2012;WOO;CHEUNG, 2015;YANAGUIZAWA et al, 2018).…”

“…De acordo com Cameron et al (2020), várias lesões podem ser incluídas no diagnóstico clínico diferencial da MOF, destacando-se: Fibroma, Granuloma Piogênico, Epúlide Fibrosa, Fibroma de Células Gigantes, Hiperplasia Gengival, Fibroma Odontogênico Periférico, Hiperplasia Fibrosa e Granuloma Periférico de Células Gigantes. Tumores Mesenquimais como o Schwannoma e Neurofibroma podem também ser incluídos como diagnóstico diferencial para a MOF (GONZAGA et al (2018);HIGUCHI et al (2019);NILESH;PATIL;KANETKAR, 2020;TOBOUTI et al, 2018 TONKABONI;MOTLAG;DERAKHSHAN, 2022).…”

A few capillary vessels can be observed in the lesion.…”
