	Introduction: Oral and maxillofacial trauma causes the most obvious damage which is trauma to the tooth and its supporting structures. These unnoticed fractures can also cause soft tissue lacerations. Clinical examination thus plays an important role in these emergency situations. Therefore, identifying the cause, early diagnosis and surgical removal are the necessary steps to be implemented. Case Report: This paper discusses one such case of a traumatic fibroma being developed due to a hit in a pediatric patient. A 13-year-old male patient was referred to the department of Oral pathology with a swelling on the lower lip. Patient gave a history of a cricket bat being hit on his face which led to the development of swelling. An immediate diagnostic approach was carried out in order to preserve the anatomy and morphology of the tooth. Conclusion: By this paper we focus on dentofacial injuries which include the displacement of tooth fragments. These soft tissue lacerations should be advocated with immediate effect with proper clinical, radiological and histopathological examination.&#13;
