ABSTRACT Oral mucosa is constantly subjected to external and internal stimuli and therefore manifests a spectrum of disease that range from developmental, reactive, and inflammatory to neoplastic. These lesions present either as generalized or localized conditions. Localized hyperplastic lesion of the gingiva or ‘epulide’, a well-recognized clinical entity is used to designate all discrete tumors and tumor-like masses of gingiva. We present a case where patient had a gingival hyperplastic lesion on the lingual aspect of anterior mandibular teeth.
KEYWORDS: Epulide; Hyperplastic; Reactive.
