A Massive Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma–Uncommon Presentation of a Common Lesion.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) is a relatively common gingival overgrowth whose pathogenesis remains uncertain. It predominantly affects adolescents & young adults mainly females, with a predilection for anterior maxilla. Clinically, it resembles a peripheral fibroma, but histopathologic analysis always reveals immature bone and osteoid within the lesion. The lesion is typically self-limiting and <2 cm,in size but there have been reports of uncommon huge peripheral ossifying fibromas. The mass-like clinical presentation and radiographic appearance of soft tissue densities may lead to misinterpretation of lesions larger than 2 cm, however the histologic appearance is diagnostic. Here we report an unusual case of POF in a 70-year-old female who presented with a massive localised gingival overgrowth in anterior mandible and a review of previously reported giant lesions.
