Article Synopsis
- Oral focal mucinosis (OFM) is a rare, asymptomatic nodular lesion first identified in 1974, with an unclear cause, making diagnosis challenging due to its similarity to other conditions.
- A systematic review of 42 studies revealed 113 cases, predominantly affecting women in their 40s, with the gingiva being the most common site.
- Surgical removal is the preferred treatment, and accurate diagnosis relies on histopathological examination, positioning OFM as a potential differential diagnosis for benign soft tissue lesions in the oral cavity.
