Abstract
The gingiva in the oral cavity is constantly subjected to numerous stimuli, resulting in numerous localised growths. Reactive gingival growth is the most common lesion in the oral cavity and usually exhibits indolent behaviour. Many of these lesions are difficult to identify clinically and can be identified as specific entities only on the basis of typical and consistent histomorphology. A peripheral ossifying fibroma is one such reactive lesion. It has been described with various synonyms and is believed to arise from the periodontal ligament, which comprises about 9% of all gingival growths. Here we describe a case of a peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 15-year-old female patient in the anterior maxilla that was painless and pale pink. The purpose of this article is to present a case of POF and emphasize the importance of discussion of a reasonable differential diagnosis.
