Objective: Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a non-neoplastic entity, which occurs on the gingiva in response to traumaor irritation. The purpose of this case report is to investigate the clinical and pathological findings of POF observed in a 55-years-old female patient.Case Report: A 55-years-old female patient referred to our clinic with complaint of gingival overgrowth in the maxillaryanterior region. Extraoral examination revealed facial asymmetry. Intraoral examination revealed a peripheral hyperemic,stalked soft tissue overgrowth 3 cm in diameter was detected at the top of the alveolar crest in the anterior region of the maxilla.It was learned that the patient has been using a total prosthesis for five years and that his prosthesis has been incompatible sincehe started using it. Panoramic radiography revealed no pathological finding. The patient was referred to the Oral andMaxillofacial Surgery Department for excision and biopsy of the relevant lesion. The material obtained by excisional biopsywas sent for histopathological examination. The histopathological diagnosis of the lesion was made as POF.Conclusion: POF is a lesion that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intraoral reactive gingival overgrowths.Clinical manifestations of mucosal lesions in the intraoral region are mostly non-specific. For this reason, lesions should beevaluated systematically with clinical and radiographic findings, and examinations including laboratory tests when necessary. |
