Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma - A Case Report and Review of Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive lesion of the oral cavity, usually seen in the gingiva. As POF occurs usually in the gingiva which is close to the periodontal ligament, origin is thought to be from the periodontal ligament (PDL). However POF is not a counterpart of the central ossifying fibroma but a reactive lesion of the gingiva. POF is commonly seen in the second decade of life, with increased predilection in incisor-cuspid region of the maxillary arch. It is reported more commonly seen in females. POF appears as a slow growing solitary mass which is usually sessile with a smooth or ulcerated surface. Adjacent teeth are usually unaffected but in some cases migration, mobility and delay in eruption of permanent teeth may occur. Lesions range from 1-2 cm in diameter. In this paper, we present a case of a 52-year-old female patient who reported with nodular growth in the maxillary anterior region.

Maxillary Non-ossifying Fibroma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Introduction: Non-ossifying Fibroma (NOF) is a relatively common benign and non-neoplastic lesion in long bones of children and adolescents. As far as very few cases of NOF have been reported in jaws and what was managed to be found regarding all reported cases having occurred only in the mandible, in this article we are going to report a case of maxillary NOF in a 38-year-old female.
متن کاملGiant Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma of the Posterior Mandible-A Rare Case Report
Large, atypical peripheral ossifying fibromas are known as giant peripheral ossifying fibromas. These lesions have often been associated with heterogeneous clinical and radiographic characteristics subsequently leading to their misdiagnosis. Biopsies have been the gold standard for the diagnosis of such lesions. This study reports on an acute presentation of giant peripheral ossifying fibrom...
متن کاملCase Report: Soft tissue reconstruction using Free gingival graft after excision of Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma
Abstract Reactive soft tissue lesions are common in the oral cavity. These lesions usually occur as a painless non-neoplastic proliferation. Surgical excision of these lesions will cause aesthetic and mucogingival problems in the area. In this case, a prominent lesion in the anterior maxilla of a 40-year-old woman had recurred after two years. Surgical treatment was performed with complete ...
متن کاملRecurrent Psammomatoid Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma with Aneurysmal Bone Cyst: An Unusual Case Presentation
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare, benign, locally aggressive entity of the extragnathic craniofacial bones with a high tendency towards recurrence. Two distinctive microscopic patterns of juvenile ossifying fibroma have been described: a trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (TrJOF) and a psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (PJOF). Psammomatoid variant is predominantly a craniofac...
متن کاملPeripheral ossifying fibroma associated with a neonatal tooth: case report.
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POP) is a relatively common reactive gingival growth of uncertain pathogenesis.' In the literature, this pathologic lesion sometimes has been described as an ossifying fibroid epulis, a peripheral fibroma with calcification or a calcifying granuloma. In 1982, Gardner recommended that the only term used to describe this entity should be POP. POP are seen usually in ...
متن کاملPeripheral Odontogenic Fibroma in a Young Child: A Literature Review and a Report of a Rare Case
Peripheral odontogenic tumors (POTs) are uncommon, and even rarer in the pediatric population. A peripheral odontogenic fibroma (PODF) is the most numerous POT in the general and pediatric populations. The purpose of this paper was to report an unusual case of PODF in a very young child who was born at 29 weeks’ gestation. The literature on PODFs in the pediatric population is reviewed.
