  • Title: Recurrent peripheral odontogenic fibroma. Case report.
    Author: Patel S, Vakkas J, Mandel L.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2011; 77(4):35-7. PubMed ID: 21894830.
    Abstract:
    Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF), an extraosseous variant of the central odontogenic fibroma, is considered an uncommon benign gingival lesion with a small recurrence rate. Clinically, it mimics a variety of benign neoplasms, metastases and reactive lesions, but it is most commonly confused with the peripheral ossifying fibroma. In this report, we describe a healthy 32-year-old male who was seen with a recurrent POF of the right maxilla. The surgical excision site was repaired using a free palatal graft, leading to a favorable outcome in an esthetic region of the oral cavity.
