Abstract
Solitary gingival growths are fairly common oral finding. Intraoral ossifying fibromas have been described in the literature since the late 1940s. Due to clinical and histopathological similarities, some peripheral ossifying fibroma (POFs) are believed to develop initially as a pyogenic granuloma that undergoes fibrous maturation and subsequent calcification. It has been suggested that POF represents a separate clinical entity rather than a transitional form of pyogenic granuloma or irritation fibroma. This paper describes a case series of female patients who reported with gingival growth which was histopathologically confirmed as POF.
