Abstract

The article presents a case of a 58-year-old male with an asymptomatic lesion on his right upper gum. He noticed the slowly growing mass in the area but attributed it to an irritation from his denture. On examination, a 1-centimeter erythematous, smooth, nonulcerated nodule was noted on the right upper maxillary gingiva.
