A RARE CASE OF RECURRENT PERIPHERAL OSSIFYING FIBROMA: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
In the oral cavity, gingival growth is one of the most commonly encountered lesions, most of these lesions are benign, but some do have malignant potential. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a benign neoplasm that usually develops from reactive gingival overgrowth. Microscopically, the tumour shows stratified squamous epithelium and highly cellular fibrous stroma, sparse endothelial proliferation with fibroblasts and dystrophic calcifications. It has to be differentiated histopathologically from pyogenic granuloma, fibroma, peripheral giant cell granuloma, peripheral odontogenic fibroma and fibrous hyperplasia. This report presents a case of gingival overgrowth in a 56-year-old woman which reoccurred for 4th time. Treatment included excision of the gingival growth and also extraction of the tooth in relation to the growth as it presented with cervical caries and root resorption. Based on histopathological examination a definitive diagnosis of POF was established
