Peripheral ossifying fibroma-A case report of mistaken identity
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Gingival growths are one of the most commonly encountered lesions in the oral cavity. Most of these lesions are benign, but some do have malignant potential. These lesions may arise as a result of irritants, trauma, microorganisms, plaque, calculus, restorations and dental appliances. Different lesions with similar clinical appearance make it difficult to arrive at a correct diagnosis. One of the infrequently occurring gingival lesions is peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF). The purpose of this article is to present a case of POF, briefly review the current literature on this condition and emphasize the importance of discussion of such a lesion. Keywords: Peripheral ossifying fibroma, Gingiva, Periperal gaint cell granuloma, Pyogenic granuloma, Fibroma.
