Abstract

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a reactive gingival overgrowth occurring frequently in the anterior maxilla in teenagers and young adults. It is a non-neoplastic enlargement of gingiva. Due to its clinical and histopathological similarities, some POFs are believed to develop initially as a pyogenic granuloma that undergoes fibrous maturation and subsequent calcification. The peak incidence is found most frequently in teenagers and young adults. Trauma or local irritants such as dental plaque, calculus, micro-organisms, masticatory forces, ill-fitting dentures and poor quality restorations have been implicated in the etiology of peripheral ossifying fibroma. Here we present a case report of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 35-year-old female. This case report comprises the growth that occurred in the maxillary anterior region with displacement of anterior teeth, its management and literature review. The lesion was asymptomatic, sessile, firm and pinkish-red in color. Excision biopsy of the lesion revealed histopathological features consistent with peripheral ossifying fibroma. fibroma. Therefore, careful clinical examination and histopathological findings should be correlated to conclude the final diagnosis.
