  • Title: Peripheral ossifying fibroma: case report.
    Author: Pradeep AR, Guruprasad CN, Agarwal E.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2012; 78(4):52-5. PubMed ID: 23252197.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in a 17-year-old boy. Clinical, radiographic and histologic characteristics are discussed and recommendations regarding differential diagnosis, treatment and follow-up are provided. Lesions histologically similar to POF have been given various names in the existing literature; therefore, the controversial varied nomenclature and possible etiopathogenesis of POF are discussed. A slowly growing soft tissue mass with speckled calcifications in the anterior oral cavity of children or young adults should raise the suspicion of a reactive gingival lesion such as POF.
