“…Fibroma is a benign tumor of fibroblasts, which is rare in the oral cavity. The majority of the fibromas occurring in the oral cavity are reactive in nature and represent a reactive hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response to local irritation or trauma, rather than being a true neoplasm . In 1967, Barker and Lucas reported just two cases of true fibromas among 171 localized fibrous growths, which reflects the extremely low frequency of occurrence of true fibromas …”

“…These findings are typical for an irritational fibroma and were in comply with the histologic criteria of fibroma defined by Barker & Lucas [ 10 , 11 ]. According to them, irritation fibromas comprise a nodular mass of fibrous connective tissue covered with stratified squamous epithelium [ 12 ]. Overall, irritating fibromas of the hard palate are a rare entity and the current case report provides an overview of such a case to every clinical doctor responsible for the diagnosis or treatment of tumors of the oral cavity.…”

Large irritation fibroma of hard palate: a case report of a rare clinical entity

et al. 2021

Fibromas are benign tumors of connective tissue common in the oral cavity but rare on hard palate. This paper reports on an asymptomatic, slowly growing mass on the hard palate of a 90-year-old lady, with a reported use of denture for two decades. The patient presented with a 2.2cm, smooth-surfaced, well-circumscribed nodule attached with a stalk to the palatal mucosa. After excision, the histopathological examination revealed a mass of fibrous connective tissue, covered by stratified squamous epithelium with focal low-medium grade hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis. These findings were consistent with irritation fibroma of hard palate, a rare entity, which should be considered as a possible diagnosis for tumors of the area by every physician.

“…Consequently, some professionals may not be concerned about the final diagnosis defined by histopathological examination 16 . In fact, it is sometimes difficult to establish an accurate preliminary diagnosis for these groups of lesions based solely on clinical presentation 28 . Regarding the completeness of the biopsy forms for this group, a considerable number of forms had missing information.…”

Agreement between clinical and histopathologic diagnoses and completeness of oral biopsy forms

et al. 2016

The present study aimed to assess the rate of agreement between clinical and histopathological diagnoses and to report the frequency of completed forms for specimens that were subjected to histopathological examination and retrospectively examined. Data from 8,168 specimens submitted to histopathological examination were retrieved from the records. A total of 5,368 cases were included. Agreement was defined based on the definition of lesion nature according to its diagnostic category. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated for each diagnostic category. The highest rate of agreement was observed for periapical lesions (92.6%), followed by potentially malignant disorders (90.1%) and non-neoplastic proliferative disorders (89.3%). Low rates of histopathological confirmation of the clinical impression were observed for mesenchymal tumors (25.0%) and cysts (44.2%). Sensitivity values were > 0.70 for all lesions, except for cysts (0.51). Specificity was relatively high, ranging from 0.97 to 1.00. The frequency of incomplete biopsy forms ranged from 16.8% (malignant tumors of oral mucosal epithelium) to 51.0% (nonspecific inflammatory reaction). The most frequently completed biopsy forms corresponded to epithelial malignant tumors (83.2%) and glandular inflammation (72.3%). In conclusion, there was an acceptable level of agreement. The low level of completeness of biopsy forms indicates little awareness about the relevance of gathering detailed information during clinical examination.

True Fibroma of Alveolar Mucosa

Abstract: Benign fibrous overgrowths are often found in the oral cavity, almost always being reactive/irritational in nature. However, benign mesenchymal neoplasms of the fibroblasts are extremely uncommon. Here we report a case of “True Fibroma of Alveolar Mucosa” for its rarity.
