Popis:	Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) is an osteogenic neoplasm of odontogenic origin with uncertain pathogenesis, which presents as a localized growth manifesting predominantly in adolescent and young adults. Early diagnosis by thorough radiographic and histologic examination is crucial for positive identification of lesions. Proper surgical excision with aggressive curettage of adjoining tissues and complete elimination of etiological factors is extremely important for prevention of recurrence. This clinical report presents two cases of patients who reported with localized gingival overgrowth, diagnosed as PCOF after histological examination. The clinical, radiographic, and histologic features of the two cases are discussed, and postsurgery, the patients have been followed up for a 1-year period with no recurrence. In conclusion, it is difficult clinically to differentiate between the various gingival lesions. Therefore, this article emphasizes that though recurrence rate of PCOF is high, most of these cases can be adequately managed with sound periodontal treatment.
