A histologic review of 129 circumscribed mesenchymal lesions of the gingivae was performed. Two cases were peripheral reparative giant cell granulomas; eight were peripheral odontogenic fibromas; 41 were inflammatory hyperplasias; 68 were pyogenic granulomas; 11 were "hard fibromas"; one lesion exhibited the histologic features of a true fibroma.
