Reactive hyperplasias comprise a group of
fibrous connective tissue lesions that
commonly occurs in oral mucosa as a result of
injury. They represent a chronic process in
which granulation tissue and scar follows
injury. As a group these lesions present as
submucosal masses that may becomesecondarily ulcerated when-traumatized
during mastication.

A - Hyperplastic lesions
Peripheral fibroma:-
Clinical features
It's a reactive hyperplastic mass that occurs on the gingiva
and is believed to be derived from connective tissue of thesubmucosa or periodontal ligament. It may occur, at anyage, although young aged groups are mostly affected.Females more commonly affected than do males, thegingiva anterior to the permanent molars.
Fibroma, present clinically, as either a pedunculated or asessile mass that is similar in color to the surroundingconnective tissue, ulceration may be noted.

Histopathology
Fibroma (Traumatic fibroma): Is a focal
fibrous hyperplasia "hyperplastic scar". It's
highly collagenous and relatively avascular,
and it may contain a mild to moderate chronic
inflammatory cell infiltrate. This lesion is
basically the gingival counterpart to traumaticfibroma occurring in other mucosa,

mass in which islands of woven "immature
bone" bone and osteoid are seen. The bone
formed is surrounded by a lobular
proliferation of plump benign fibroblasts.
Chronic inflammatory cells tend to be seen
around the margins of the lesion. The surfaceis ulcerated

Peripheral odontogenic fibroma: Is a gingival
mass composed of well-vascularized, non-
encapsulated fibrous connective tissue. The
distinguishing feature of this variant is the
presence of strands of odontogenic
epithelium, often abundant, throughout the
connective tissue amorphous hard tissueresembling tertiary dentine "dentinoid"
maybe seen. It's usually non-ulcerated.
7/30/2019 Soft Tissue Tumor for Rafdain

Giant cell fibroma: Is a focal fibrous hyperplasia in which
connective tissue cells, many of which are multinucleated,
assume a stellate shape. It has been shown by immuno-
histochemical studies that most of these cells are
fibroblast.unlike the traumatic fibroma, its not associated
with trauma. Its asymptomatic sessile or pedunculated
with papillary surface. Gingiva affected in 50% , Tongueand palate are also can be involved (non traumatized
sites). Histologically is a mass of vascular connective tissue
with numerous large stellate fibroblast (with several
nuclei) in the superficial connective tissue. The retrocuspidpapilla is a developmental anomly with similar
histopathological features. It affect lower gingiva behind
the lower canine, unilateral or bilaterally. No treatment is
required.

2- Focal fibrous hyperplasia:-
Is a reactive lesion usually caused by chronic
trauma to oral mucous membranes, outer-
production of fibrous connective tissue results ina clinically evident submucosal mass. Although
the terms traumatic fibroma and oral fibroma are
applied to these entities, they are misnomers,since these lesion's are not benign tumors of
fibroblasts, as term fibroma implies.
7/30/2019 Soft Tissue Tumor for Rafdain
25/234
Clinical features
No gender or racial predilection, for the developmentof this intraoral lesion. It's a very common reactivehyperplasia that is typically found in frequently
traumatized areas, such as the buccal mucosa, lateralboarder of the tongue and lower lip. It's a painless,broad swelling that is paler than the surrounding tissuebecause of its relative lock of vascular channels. The
surface may occasionally be ulcerated traumatically,particularly in larger lesions, they usually don't exceed1-2 cm in diameter.

a dense collagen matrix. Occasional chronic
inflammatory cells may be seen overlying

3- Denture-induced fibrous hyperplasia
Denture-induced fibrous hyperplasia is related to
chronic trauma produced by an ill-fitting denture.
The process is essentially the same as the onethat leads to traumatic fibroma, except that a
denture is specifically identified as the causative
agent, this lesion has been named by severalsynonyms: inflammatory hyperplasia, denture
hyperplasia, epulis fissuratum.
7/30/2019 Soft Tissue Tumor for Rafdain
33/234
Clinical feature
It is a common lesion that occurs in the vestibular
mucosa and less commonly along the mandibular
lingual sulcus where the denture flange contactstissue-chronic trauma and irritation may cause
fibrous connective tissue reparative response,
which resulted in the appearance of painlessfolds of fibrous tissue surrounding the
overextended denture flanges.

2- Nodular fasciitis, fibrous histocytoma and fibromatosis. Nodular fasciitis:-
Clinical features
Also known as pseudosarcomatous fasciitis in a well
recognized entity representing a fibrous connective tissuegrowth. The cause of their proliferation is unknown.Trauma is believed to be important in many cases becauseof the location of the lesions over bony prominence such asthe angle of the mandible and the zygoma. Althoughtraditionally considered a reactive condition, recentmolecular evidence suggests that the cells in nodularfasciitis are clonal, thus supporting the concept that thelesion is a benign neoplasm

Pyogenic granuloma: Represents an exuberant connective tissue
proliferation to a known stimulus or injury. It appearsas a red mass because it is composed predominantly ofhyperplastic granulation tissue in which
capillaries are very prominent, and hence the termlobular capillary hemangioma.
The original term pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer inthat it's not pus producing, and it does not represent
granulomatous inflammation. Hence the new term islobular capillary hemangioma and currently consideredas vascular tumor.
7/30/2019 Soft Tissue Tumor for Rafdain
80/234
Clinical features
Mostly seen on the gingiva, where they are presumablycaused by calculus or foreign material within thegingival cervice. Hormonal changes of puberty and
pregnancy may modify the gingival reparative responseto injury, producing what was called "pregnancytumor".
Other parts of oral mucosa may else be affected, such
as lower lip, buccal mucosa, and the tongue. Pyogenicgranuloma is typically red. Occasionally they maybecome ulcerated because of secondary trauma.

have also been used interchangeably. Because of thedifference in clinical as well as behavioral characteristicit is important to seperate one from another:-

Clinical features Congenital hemangioma also called strawberry
nevus, usually appears around the time of birth, butmay not be apparent until early childhood. It exhibit a
rapid growth phase, which is followed several yearslater by an involution phase. While congenitalmalformation are persistent. Both types maybe flat,nodular or bosselated. Lesions are most commonly .
found on the lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa .Lesionsthat affect bone are probably congenital vascularmalformations rather than congenital hemangioma.

Neural lesions 1-Reactive lesions:-
Traumatic neuroma:
Caused by injury to a peripheral nerve, such as a tooth
extraction, from local anesthetic injection, or from anaccident. Transection of a sensory nerve can result ininflammation and scarring in the area of injury. As theproximal nerve segment proliferates in an attempt to
regenerate into to the distal segment, it becomesentangled and trapped in the developing scar, resultingin a mass of fibrous tissue, Schwann cells and axons.

It is rare benign neoplasm of primitive pigment-producing cells. Like melanocytes and nevus cells,
Clinically
it is found in infants usually younger than 6months of age and occurs typically in the maxilla,although the mandible and the skull have beeninvolved. This lesion usually presents as a nonulcerated and occasionally darkly pigmentedmass due to melanin production by tumor cells.

Histologically
This neoplasm exhibits an alveolar pattern (i.e.,nests of tumor cells with small amounts ofintervening connective tissue) . The variably sized
nests of round to oval cells are found within awell defined connective tissue margin. Cellslocated centrally within the neoplastic nests aredense and compact, resembling neuroendocrine
cells; peripheral cells are larger and often containmelanin.

Embryonal type consists of primitive round cells, spindle cells.Botryoid
types Alveolar variant consists of round cells, but in compartments.
Pleomorphic type consists of sharp or spindle cells. When it occursin the head and neck region, Rhabdomyosarcoma is mainly found inchildren outside the head and neck, it is mainly found in adults.
