Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma Mimicking Traumatic Fibroma- A Case Report

Abstract

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a reactive non-neoplastic lesion usually located in the maxillary anterior region. Young females are more likely to develop peripheral ossifying fibroma as a single, slow-growing, exophytic nodule mass of the gingiva that is no larger than 2 cm in diameter. Here we present a case of a 40-year-old male patient reported to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology with the chief complaint of a growth in the upper left posterior region 1 months earlier.
