Intraoral ossifying fibromas have been described in the literature since the late 1940s. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is usually a fibroma of the gingival which shows areas of calcification or ossification. It is a nonneoplastic enlargement of gingiva. Due to its clinical and histopathological similarities, some POFs are believed to develop initially as a pyogenic granuloma that undergoes fibrous maturation and subsequent calcification. It has been suggested that POF represents a separate clinical entity rather than a transitional form of pyogenic granuloma or irritation fibroma. This paper describes a case report of a 60-year-old female patient reported with growth on gingiva in the upper left front region of mouth three years ago.

The gingiva is often considered as one of the most common sites of localized growths that are considered to be reactive rather than malignant in nature. Clinically, the majority of these lesions are difficult to identify, and therefore histopathology is useful in diagnosing these lesions as specific entities only on the basis of typical and consistent features. Focal gingival enlargements are quite frequent lesions in the oral cavity amounting to almost 3.1% of all oral tumors and 9.6% of gingival lesions. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is one of the reactive lesions that have typical histopathological features. Since the late 1940s, intraoral ossifying fibromas have been discussed in the literature. The term “Peripheral ossifying fibroma” is usually used to describe a fibroma of the gingiva which shows areas of calcification or ossification. They are usually classified as non-neoplastic enlargement of the gingiva. Many POFs are thought to develop initially as a pyogenic granuloma that undergoes fibrous maturation and subsequent calcification. However, many authors have suggested that rather than a transitional form of pyogenic granuloma or irritation fibroma, POF represents a separate clinical entity. Different lesions with clinical presentations similar to POF make it difficult to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis. Usually, the treatment of POF includes excision of the lesion surgically with minimal chances of recurrence. This paper describes a case report of a 32 year old female patient who reported growth on gingiva in the mandibular left anterior region of the mouth for three years.

Fibrous growths in the gingiva with the histopathological presence of calcifications are a common occurrence in the oral cavity. These lesions can be neoplastic in nature with either odontogenic or non odontogenic origin or they can be reactive lesions.  Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is one of the inflammatory reactive hyperplasia of gingiva. It represents a separate clinical entity rather than a transitional form of pyogenic granuloma and shares unique clinical characteristics and diverse histopathological features. Here, we present a case report of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in an adult female in her fourth decade of life. This case report comprises the growth that occurred in the mandibular posterior region. POF in the age of 45 years, arising in the mandibular posterior region, is an occasional entity. Careful clinical examination and histopathology findings should be correlated to conclude the final diagnosis.
