A case of peripheral odontogenic fibroma arising in the mandibular premolar region of a teenager.

Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POdF) is a rare, benign ectomesenchymal tumor. Herein, we report a case of a 15‐year‐old female patient who developed POdF in the mandible. The lesion was resected along with the periosteum. Histopathological findings revealed a small mass and cord‐like epithelium. There was no recurrence 16 months postoperatively. Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POdF) is a benign tumor that rarely occurs in the mandibular premolar region of teenagers. For a POdF that develops in a young patient, tumor resection, including the periosteum, and long‐term follow‐up are necessary to minimize the rate of recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
