The fibrous epulis, a common tumor-like lesion of the gingiva, appears in the interdental papilla as a result of local irritation. Lesions are asymptomatic and have a variable growth rate. A 75-year-old woman was referred for the evaluation of a large painless gingival mass. It had started 10 years back and has been increasing in size the last year. No bone involvement was noted. The tumor was totally removed by excision with surgical scalpel under local anesthesia without teeth extraction. The microscopic findings were suggestive of a fibrous epulis. Differential diagnosis, clinical considerations and factors to prevent recurrence are discussed.
纤维性牙龈瘤是牙龈常见的肿瘤样病变,因局部刺激出现在牙间乳头。病变通常无症状,生长速度不一。一名75岁女性因评估一个无痛性牙龈肿物前来就诊。该肿物始于10年前,去年开始增大。未发现骨质受累。在局部麻醉下,用手术刀完整切除肿瘤,未拔牙。显微镜检查结果提示为纤维性牙龈瘤。本文讨论了鉴别诊断、临床考虑因素及预防复发的因素。
