The oral fibroma is a tumor-like mass of fibrous scar tissue caused by chronic trauma, typically a bite injury. There is no sex predilection and any age group may be affected.
The patient notices a painless (unless recently bitten) nodule that is located at sites easily bitten, such as the lower labial mucosa, lateral tongue, and buccal mucosa.
