Implication

Case report demonstrates successful surgical excision of an irritative fibroma of the hard palate in an older adult, highlighting lesion cauterization to prevent recurrence.

Key Points

Complete excision successfully eliminated a rare irritative fibroma of the hard palate, and cauterization of the wound base was performed to minimize recurrence.
A 61-year-old female presented with the benign tumor after 30 years of chronic tobacco and betel nut chewing, showing recurrent mechanical trauma to oral mucosa.
Histological examination verified benign connective tissue proliferation, highlighting the necessity of biopsy to differentiate fibromas from malignant oral lesions.
