Abstract
Background: The fibroma most commonly appears as a nodular growth mainly on buccal mucosa along the occlusal plane. Other sites involved are gingiva, palate, lips, and tongue. The conservative surgical approach is best for management of this lesion. The effects of chronic local irritation have been seen commonly in the form of fibroma or mucocele in children. Case presentation: A 12-year-old girl with the chief complaint of swelling in the lower lip reported to our department which was diagnosed as fibroma both clinically and histologically. Diode laser excision was done under local anesthesia (LA).Post-operative complications were not evident. The wound healing was satisfactory. Conclusion: The fibromas are benign and self-limiting conditions which are diagnosed based on clinical and pathological examination. Diode laser treatment is highly effective and is a simple and safe method.
