Abstract

The oral tissues are often exposed to various forms of injury and irritation leading to various reactive or traumatic lesions. These lesions frequently present as a lump or mass, ulcers or patches of varying color. They are generally benign in nature, subside to a greater extent after the removal of the stimulus and rarely recur after complete surgical excision. We report a unique occurrence of a reactive lesion, an irritational fibroma and a traumatic lesion, a mucocele arising consecutively on the right buccal mucosa.
