Abstract

Traumatic fibroma lesions are characterised by painless, slow growing, firm, round or oval shaped lesion. It generally interferes with mastication. An oral fibroma is a benign scar lesion resulting from persistent long standing irritations caused due to cheek or lip biting, rubbing from a rough tooth, dentures or other dental prostheses. So, various treatment modalities has been introduced for excision of the lesion which includes cryosurgery, intralesional injections of corticosteroids, electrical, laser or scalpel excision. A 54 year male patient reported with chief complaint of large mass on his left lateral border of tongue from 6 months which was interfering with chewing. Patient had history of frequent tongue bite. Clinical examination revealed the presence of oval-round mass present on lateral border of tongue with a smooth surface and broad base. The excision of traumatic fibroma was performed using scalpel technique followed by coagulation performed with electrocautery unit. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. This case report demonstrated scalpel excision of lesion followed by coagulation with electrosurgery unit and found to be a simple, safe, cost effective and highly efficient method with no recurrence
