All masses were normal in color, with smooth, non\u2010ulcerated surfaces and occasional surface nodularity. Underlying bone was radiographically normal, and adjacent teeth were asymptomatic. All masses originated from supra\u2010periosteal tissues over palatal bone, only secondarily extending to gingivae and\/or crestal tuberosity. Cases were present between 4\u00a0months and 15\u00a0years, with no familial or environmental etiologies identified. Histopathologically, masses were comprised of dense, avascular fibrous tissue with scattered thick bands of collagen. Surface epithelium showed occasional long, thin, sometimes pointed rete processes, and subepithelial stroma contained scattered large, angular fibroblasts. Conservative surgical excision appeared curative in all cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present investigators propose SPF as the most accurate name for this rare entity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/odi.13021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,19]],"date-time":"2018-12-19T13:10:50Z","timestamp":1545225050000},"page":"781-787","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Symmetrical palatal fibromatosis: Five new cases and a review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8226-0356","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard J.","family":"Vargo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Missouri School of Dentistry &amp; Oral Health, A.T.
