Abstract
Periapical granuloma is a pathological diagnosis associated clinically and radiographically with a nonvital tooth and a periapical
radiolucency, respectively. It is frequently seen as a sequela of long-standing pulpal necrosis. Often times, a draining fistula
is observed near the nonvital tooth. We report an unusual case of a large draining focal fibrous hyperplasia in association
with a large periapical granuloma treated at our clinic. The diagnosis was made by the clinical presentation, radiologic and
histopathologic findings.
