Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma represents a reactive benign lesion of connective tissue and is not the soft tissue counterpart of ossifying fibroma. It has been described with various synonyms and is believed to arise from the periodontal ligament comprising about 9% of all gingival growths. The size of the lesion is usually small, located mainly in the anterior maxilla with a higher predilection for females, and it is more common in the second decade of life.It is a slow-growing benign tumor which may lead to pathologic migration and other periodontal problems, so it should be excised as soon as possible. The recurrence rate of peripheral ossifying fibroma is reported to be 8% to 20%, so a close postoperative follow-up is required. Here we report a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 43 years old female patient arising in the mandibular anterior region.
