Irritational Fibroma Mimicking an Odontogenic Infection: A Case Report of a Misdiagnosed Extraoral Fibroma.

Fibroma is a benign fibrous tissue growth that develops in response to injury or irritation. It is usually firm, painless, nodular, and merging in color with the surrounding tissue. Commonly located in areas such as the buccal mucosa, tongue, and lip, the usual treatment involves surgical removal. In this case report, we present a rare instance of misdiagnosed extraoral irritational fibroma that emerged following the surgical extractions of the lower left third molar.
