Local reactive focal overgrowths are frequently found in oral cavities.  The fibrous hyperplasia is a reactive, inflammatory hyperplastic lesion of the connective tissue. Fibrous hyperplasia is considered the most common benign soft tissue growth in oral cavity.   The most common intra oral site is along the occlusal line of buccal mucosa, but it also affects the lower lip, tongue, hard palate and edentulous alveolar ridge and whose frequency is estimated to be 1.2 % in adult subjects. Here we present a case of a 60 years old male patient who was having swelling on left side of posterior region of hard palate.
