Oral fibroma, typically referred to as simply fibroma, is a very common benign lesion in oral pathology.
It is also known as focal fibrous hyperplasia, peripheral fibroma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, fibroid epulis (old term), and fibroepithelial polyp.[1][2][3]
General
- Most common oral cavity tumour.[3]
- Female predominance (female:male = 2:1), usually 30-50 years old.[3]
- Multiple oral fibromas may be seen in Cowden disease.[4][5]
- Histologically similar to fibrous papule.[6]
Clinical DDx:
Microscopic
Features:[6]
- Fibrous stroma - key feature.
- "Very pink" at low power.
- +/-Collagen bundles, may be prominent.
- Prominent (dilated) vessels.
- Overlying (squamous) mucosa benign (flat).
- +/-Hyperkeratosis +/-focal ulceration.[3]

Sign out
Lower Buccal Lesion, Left, Excision: - Fibroma. - NEGATIVE for malignancy.
Left Tongue Lesion, Excision: - Fibroma with overlying squamous epithelium with parakeratosis. - NEGATIVE for malignancy.
Block letters
TONGUE LESION, BIOPSY: - FIBROMA.
Micro
The sections show a polypoid fragment of squamous mucosa with a thin layer of parakeratosis. The subepithelial tissue consists of abundant fibrous tissue and has dilated small blood vessels.
No significant inflammation is present. No nuclear atypia is apparent. No necrosis is present. No proliferative activity is apparent.
