Reibel, J.: Oral fibroos hyperplasias containing stellate and multinucleated cells. Scand. J. Dent. Res. 1982: 90: 217-226. Abstract -In an attempt to clarify whether the so-called "giant-cell fibroma" is a separate entity among fibrous hyperplasias and tumors, 1550 oral fibroas hyperplasias were reviewed for the presence of stellate and multinucleated cells. In 5% ofthe lesions stellate and multinucleated cells Wicre a dominant feature of the histologic picture. A surprisingly high number of hyperpiasias of the tuberosities {gingivai fibromatoses) were found to contain the characteristic cells. (31 %). On the basis, ofthe varying nature of the lesions and the range of ages at which the stellate and multinucleated cells are found, these lesions should not be regarded as neoplastic in nature or as belonging to a separate en tit)'. Furthermore, based on differences in fiber pattern and iocalizadon ofthe characteristic cells, it is suggested that the stellate and multinydeated cells are active cells, possibly involved in the synthesis of eoUagen and/or ground substance.

“…[30][31][32] To explain the lower percentage of lichen planus found in the present study, in addition to geographical, genetic and study-design related factors, it should be noted that we evaluated all tongue lesions of which lichen planus was one of them, while most other studies have investigated oral lichen planus and reported its prevalence on the tongue. Irritation fibroma occurred in 14.4% of our samples which is similar to the 14.6% presented by Barker and Lucas, 33 but less than that found by Toida et al 24 Considering that irritation fibroma can be affected by oral habits, 34 which in turn are known to be related to social stress and cultural factors, this element may have a role in the differences observed between populations. Squamous cell carcinoma showed a prevalence of 13.8% in the current investigation which falls at the lower end of the 10.7 to 53% 27,[35][36][37] reported in other studies.…”

Aim:The aim of the present study was to analyze data on the characteristics of tongue lesions in dental patients seeking care at the Oral Pathology Service of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, from 1985-2010. Materials and methods:Demographic data and histopathologic diagnoses were recorded for all lesions that were documented as occurring on the tongue according to the patient records in our department. Statistical analysis included chi-square, t-, and Fisher's exact tests. A 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated, and p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results:Tongue lesions constituted 6.3% of all received specimens which included 46 different defects. The most common lesions were lichen planus (LP), irritation fibroma (IF), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV). Tongue lesions were significantly more common in women compared to men (CI = 0.65-0.94, p = 0.02). Mean age (47 years) did not differ between male and female subjects (CI = -2.49 -3.93, p = 0.06). The dorsal surface followed by the lateral aspect was the most common site for tongue lesions.

“…The extremely low frequency of the occurrence of true fibromas (benign neoplasms) was highlighted by Barker et al in 1967. In their study, they reported two true fibromas among 171 specimens of localized fibrous growths (Barker & Lucas, 1967;Christopoulos, Sklavounou, & Patrikiou, 1994). A reactive or irritational fibroma usually has an etiology, that is, a source of irritation.…”

“…It was discovered that majority of the fibromas occurring in the oral cavity are reactive in nature and represent a reactive hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response to local irritation or trauma rather than being a true neoplasm (Barker et al,1967). However, Stout stated that "it is exceedingly difficult to decide whether or not there is true benign neoplasm composed of fibroblasts" (Shamim et al, 2008).…”

The fibroma, also referred to as irritation fibroma, is by far the most common of the oral fibrous tumorlike growths. While the terminology implies a benign neoplasm, most if not all fibromas represent reactive focal fibrous hyperplasia due to trauma or local irritation. Although the term focal fibrous hyperplasia more accurately describes the clinical appearance and pathogenesis of this entity, it is not commonly used. We present a case report of oral fibroma in the left side of the buccal mucosa in 50 years old Saudi patient.
