At the Oral Diagnosis Clinic at the Dentistry School of Universidade Federal of Minas Gerais, a 29-year-old white woman was admitted with a slow-growing, painless oral lesion that had been present for 1 year. The patient was in her eighth month of pregnancy and was receiving medical treatment for slight iron-deficiency anemia related to the pregnancy. Extraoral examination revealed no other abnormalities. One lobulated, nonulcerated lesion was evident on the right posterior hard palate. It was mainly pink with darkened, reddish and whitish areas. The lesion was well circumscribed and partially sessile with a fibrous consistency; it measured approximately 35 20 mm. Superficial vascularity was evident in some areas (Figure 1, A). Radiographic examination did not reveal evidence of bone involvement (Figure 1, B). Neither the dental caries on the maxillary right first molar nor the periapical lesion on the maxillary left lateral incisor appeared to be associated with the lesion.
