Fibroma - A misnomer: Case Series.

Objectives: Fibromas are proliferative fibrous lesions of the gingiva and oralmucosa thatmay cause esthetic and functional problems. Fibrous hyperplasia and Fibro-epithelial hyperplasia are histological variants of these non-neoplasticlesions. Methods: This article addresses the diagnosis, histological features and treatment of two cases of fibroma. Results: These lesions are a result of trauma/chronic irritation, or arise fromcells of periodontium, periodontal ligament, or periosteum. Conclusion: The cases demonstrate the need for proper diagnosis, role of biopsy and histologic evaluation in management of these lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
