Abstract

A mucosal lesion that arises due to long standing chronic irritation is called Epulis fissuratum. It is a benign reactive hyperplastic lesion that commonly develops in the mucosa close to the overextending flanges of the ill-fitting dentures. This paper presents a case of atypical presentation of epulis fissaratum in a 74-year-old woman with history of ill-fitting denture for the past four months. Total excision of such lesions is recommended because they cause problems such as pain and discomfort during mastication and speech.
