RESUMO
Focal fibrous hyperplasia (FFH) is a pathology characterized by tissue enlargement as a result of increasing the number of inflammatory cells which receive chronic mechanical stimuli of low intensity that may affect gums, lip, palate, jugal mucosa and tongue.The aim of this article is to report a case of FFH on the lateral border on both sides of the tongue associated with the use of the Hyrax appliance in a hebiatric patient, whose chief complaint was chewing discomfort. This case was diagnosed clinically and by histopathology analysis and treated by surgical excision as well as the removal of Hyrax appliances. Follow-up care provided the recovery of the patient's quality of life.
La hiperplasia fibrosa focal (HFF) es una patología caracterizada por el aumento de tamaño de los tejidos como consecuencia del aumento del número de células inflamatorias que reciben estímulos mecánicos crónicos de baja intensidad que pueden afectar a encías, labio, paladar, mucosa yugal y lengua. El objetivo de este artículo es reportar un caso de FFH en el borde lateral a ambos lados de la lengua asociado al uso del aparato Hyrax en un paciente hebiátrico, cuyo principal motivo de consulta era la molestia masticatoria. Este caso fue diagnosticado clínicamente y por análisis histopatológico y tratado mediante escisión quirúrgica así como la retirada de los aparatos de Hyrax. La atención de seguimiento permitió la recuperación de la calidad de vida del paciente
RESUMO
El granuloma piógeno es una lesión benigna, reactiva y multifactorial que resulta de le- siones repetitivas, microtraumatismos e irritación local en piel o mucosas y cambio hormonal. Cuando aparece en la cavidad oral tiene predilección por la encía vestibular, pero es importante que el odontólogo esté consciente y familiarizado con el hecho de que puede estar localizado en otras áreas anatómicas. Clínicamente se presenta como lesión hiperplásica altamente vascularizada, de tamaño generalmente no mayor a 2 cm, pediculada en la base o sésil y de lento crecimiento. Sin mostrar preferencia por edad o sexo, tiende a aparecer principalmente en encías, labios y mucosa oral, siendo muy pocos los casos reportados en el área lingual. Es por ello que, en este artículo, nos referimos a un caso de ubicación inusual, en conjunto con una revisión de la literatura (AU)
Pyogenic granuloma is a benign, reactive, and multifactorial lesion caused by repetitive injuries, microtrauma and local irritation on the skin or mucous membranes, and hormonal change. When it appears in the oral cavity, it has a predilection for the vestibular gingiva, but the dentist must be aware and familiar with the fact that it can be present in other anatomi- cal areas. Clinically, it is presented as a hyperplasic injury highly vascular-related, with a size generally no bigger than 2 cm, pedunculated in base or sessile, and slow in growth. Without showing any preference in age or gender, it tends to appear mainly on the gums, lips, and oral mucosae, with very few, reported cases in the lingual area. Therefore, in this study, we refer to a case of unusual localization with a literature review (AU)

ABSTRACT Fibroma is currently considered the most common reactive hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response to local trauma in the oral cavity. This case deals with the excision of a traumatic fibroma using diode laser (Epic X, wavelength of 940nm, continuous mode, 5W power), whose energy is absorbed by hemoglobin and melanin (chromophores) and is indicated in soft tissue surgeries, favoring coagulation. The results are consistent with the benefits demonstrated in the scientific literature: better visibility in the surgical act due to achieved hemostasis, excellent postoperative phase due to the absence of pain and inflammation, with no need for analgesic medication, no use of sutures, no scarring and no recurrence. It is a safe and fast procedure that also allows performing a histopathological study without altering the tissues to be examined. In the case presented here, the histopathological study confirmed the presumptive diagnosis of fibroma.
RESUMEN El fibroma es considerado actualmente como la más común hiperplasia reactiva de tejido conectivo fibroso en respuesta a un trauma local en la cavidad bucal. En este caso se menciona la escisión de un fibroma traumático utilizando laser de diodo (Epic X, longitud de onda de 940nm, modo continuo, potencia 5W), cuya energía es absorbida por la hemoglobina y la melanina (cromóforos), indicado en cirugías de tejidos blandos, favoreciendo la coagulación. Los resultados están acordes con los beneficios demostrados en la literatura científica: mejor visibilidad en el acto quirúrgico por la hemostasia lograda, postoperatorio excelente por la ausencia de dolor e inflamación, sin necesidad de medicación analgésica ni uso de suturas, no produce aparición de cicatriz y no recidiva; ofrece seguridad y rapidez en el procedimiento. Permite la realización de estudio histopatológico sin alterar los tejidos a examinar. En el caso presentado, el estudio histopatológico comprobó el diagnóstico presuntivo de fibroma.

CONTEXT: Focal fibrous hyperplasia, also known as irritation or traumatic fibroma, is a reactive, inflammatory hyperplastic lesion of the connective tissue. AIM: The aim of this study is to perform a retrospective study of a focal fibrous hyperplasia of 18 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 193 cases of focal fibrous hyperplasia of the oral cavity from the medical and histological reports of the Department of Oral Pathology, Pernambuco University, Brazil, during the period between January 1992 and December 2009. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Data with regard to age, gender, location, size of the lesion (equal to or less than 1 cm, between 1 and 2 cm and greater than 2 cm), pain, history of trauma, treatment, length of follow-up (from diagnosis to release or last review) and recurrence, were collected. RESULTS: The most commonly affected site was the buccal mucosa (n = 119, 61.7%). Almost two-thirds of the cases were concentrated from the second to the fifth decade of life. Females were more affected than men and a history of trauma was related by 90.7% of the patients. Two recurrences were notified (1.0%). CONCLUSION: Further studies are needed on the distribution of the lesion in different ethnic and geographical populations. The influence of sex hormones on the development of focal fibrous hyperplasia must be clarified.
