Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma: An Unusual Gingival Bulge a Rare Entity.

Introduction: General practitioners have misdiagnosed a number of rare entities by using the term “fibroma” to describe any soft tissue gingival lesion. In teenage female patients, gingival lesions are frequently observed clinically. Case Report: The lesion’s location is important since it influences the rarity of these lesions, both in terms of size and location. However, there is still disagreement regarding which condition should be diagnosed: peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF) or peripheral ossifying fibroma. POF is also known as “calcifying fibroblastic granuloma,” “calcifying or ossifying fibrous epulis,” “peripheral fibroma with calcification,” and “peripheral cementifying fibroma.” Conclusion: This case report discusses the treatment of a female adolescent patient with an unusual instance of POF on the labial side of her maxillary incisors. Five months were spent monitoring the patient following her surgical excision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
