Irritation fibroma is benign, localized, peripheral lesion, shows tumour like expansion and caused by fibrous tissue. It is one of the most frequently seen lesion of the oral mucosa. Irritation fibroma develops as secondary to longterm chronic trauma. It is obviously seen on tissues which are chronically exposed to trauma like gingiva, tongue, lower lip and cheek. It can be seen equally in both sexes and in all ages. Histologically, it is collagenous and relatively acellular, fibrous hyperplasia often includes dilated capillary.

Gingivanın İrritasyon Fibromu: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Yumuşak dokunun intraoral fibröz hiperplazileri çok yaygın olarak görülürler ve benign reaktif veya neoplastik olabilirler. İrritasyon fibromu ise benign, lokalize, periferal tümör benzeri genişleme gösteren bağ dokularının neden olduğu bir lezyondur. Oral mukozanın en sık görülen lezyonlarından biridir. İrritasyon fibromu uzun dönemli kronik travmaya sekonder olarak gelişir. Genellikle kronik travmaya maruz kalan dişeti, dil, alt dudak ve yanak mukozasında görülür. Her iki cinsiyette eşit olarak ve her yaşta görülebilir. Histolojik olarak kollajen ve relatif aseluler, çoğu zaman dilate kapillerlerin bulunduğu fibröz bir hiperplazidir. Konservatif cerrahi eksizyon yöntemiyle kolayca çıkarılır.Bu olgu sunumunda 17 yaşında bayan hastanın maksilla anterior diş etinde görülen irritasyon fibromu sunulmuştur.
