Abstract

Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, also denominated by epulis fissuratum, is related to benign lesions of soft tissue caused by chronic traumas, usually of a prosthesis badly adapted. This lesion attacks the feminine sex preferentially, adults of middle age or older, and users of prostheses. It is more frequent in the anterior area of the jawbone, exophytic, and it can vary from flaccid to solid. The present work reports a case of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia diagnosticated in a fifty two years old white woman in the clinic of Estomatology I of University of Odontology of UFBA, and it presents reports of the literature regarding that lesion.
