MESA PUPO, Mirleidy et al. Presentation of a Patient with Underlying Traumatic Fibrosis Dentures. CCM [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.4, pp. 523-527. ISSN 1560-4381.

A 56- year- old female patient, without symptoms, with  upper dental prosthesis. The intraoral examination revealed an exophytic growth of approximately one centimeter of diameter, at the mucous membrane of the hard palate's region, with similar color to the rest of the mucous membrane, joined to the base through a peduncle and showing its surface flattened under pressure by the prosthetic appliance's base. The lesion was eliminated by surgical excision. The histologic test confirmed the presence of a traumatic fibroma completely eliminated. An excellent post-surgical evolution was observed. A plan of treatment for the patient's total rehabilitation was established.

Keywords : neoplasms; fibroma; dental prosthesis.
