Fibrous histiocytoma is a benign soft tissue tumour that may present as a fibrous mass anywhere in the human body. The involvement of the oral cavity is extremely rare and very few cases have been reported in literature till date. We here report two cases of benign fibrous histiocytoma, one being present in gingiva and other in labial mucosa. Immunohistochemical evaluation of CD 68, CD 163 and S-100 are done to understand the pathogenesis of benign fibrous histiocytoma. The clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of both cases are discussed precisely in the light of literature review.
