Fibroepithelial Polyp

Fibroepithelial Polyp is a fairly common connective tissue growth that usually forms in the oral cavity as a result of chronic irritation. This growth is covered on top with a layer of epithelial tissue and can be small or reach significant sizes.

A fibroepithelial polyp is often called an epulis, although this name is not precise since epulis is a general name for different types of tumors that can form in the oral cavity.

Fibroepithelial polyp is usually not dangerous and does not require treatment unless it has reached a significant size and does not cause discomfort. However, if the polyp has reached a large size, it can cause difficulty swallowing, discomfort or pain while eating, and bleeding.

Treatment for fibroepithelial polyps usually involves surgical removal. This can be done either with conventional surgery or with laser surgery. After polyp removal, the patient should monitor his oral cavity to avoid re-irritation and the formation of new polyps.

In conclusion, a fibroepithelial polyp is a connective tissue growth that usually forms in the oral cavity as a result of chronic irritation. It can be removed surgically if it has grown to a significant size and is causing discomfort or difficulty in digestion. If you discover a polyp in your mouth, be sure to contact your doctor for professional advice and treatment recommendations.

Fibroepithelial polyps are connective tissue that forms proliferation in epithelial tissue. They mainly occur in the oral cavity, submucosal spaces of the palate and retromolar region, sometimes in the ureters. The cause of formation is chronic irritation of the oral mucosa or adjacent tissues, accompanied by abundant blood supply and tissue breakdown. This description is also known by another subset called "epulis".

The formation of polyps occurs more often in men, most often after 50 years. The largest percentage of cases occur in the age range between 60-90 years. According to their morphology, these neoplasms

Polyps are predominantly benign, but sometimes dangerous to health, tumor-like outgrowths of the mucous membrane, formed as a result of proliferation and impaired differentiation of the epithelium. The danger of the disease lies in the fact that cases are diagnosed when it leads to malignancy - the transformation of polyps into malignant tumors.
