Physical Examination

HEENT

• Oral fibroma appears as a sessile, dome-shaped mass with a smooth surface.
• The size of the lesion may range from 1-2 centimeters in diameter.
• Oral fibroma is usually pale pink in color. Occasionally, the lesion may appear reddish.
• If traumatized, ulceration on the surface may be noted.
• Oral fibroma is firm upon palpation and exhibits a well-defined periphery and usually non tender on palpation.

Extremities

The proximal tibia metaphysis is the most common location, followed by the distal femoral metaphysis.

• Patients may have localized tenderness or swelling over a lesion
• A pathologic fracture may be present
