A Rare Case Report: Oral Focal Mucinosis

Abstract

Oral focal mucinosis (OFM); It is a rare soft tissue lesion of unknown etiology. It was first described by Tomich in 1974. It usually occurs as a localized, asymptomatic pedunculated or sessile growth on the gingiva or hard palate. In the intraoral examination of a 14-year-old systemically healthy female patient who applied to our clinic with the complaint of gingival enlargement in the maxillary palate region, a well-circumscribed mass of approximately 2 cm in diameter, covered with normal mucosa, extending from the gingival to the hard palate, in the palatal region of the right first premolar and first molar teeth. The patient stated that he noticed the mass 3-4 years ago and did not experience any pain.The lesion was taken with excisional biopsy under local anesthesia and sent to the pathology department. The patient was diagnosed with OFM as a result of pathological evaluation. No recurrence after 1 year.
