Abstract

A 66 year old, male patient walked into the outpatient department with a complaint of loose teeth set in the lower front region, since 5 months and desired replacement of the teeth set. The lower incisors were mobile and fell off by itself eight months back after which he fabricated his denture. Patient is diabetic since 6 years and under medication. Intra oral examination showed missing teeth in his lower anterior region. A sessile exophytic growth was also noticed on the lower labial mucosa of the mandibular arch in the anterior region which extended symmetrically on either side of the midline (Figure 1). The lesion was split longitudinally all along its length forming two folds and the denture sat comfortably in between the folds (Figure 2). The superficial fold towards the labial mucosa was small, measuring 1 x 0.5 cm and the fold towards the alveolar ridge was larger measuring 2x 1.5 cm in size.
