Description
Summary:The peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a relatively common gingival growth of a reactive nature. We present the case of a 49-year-old female patient who presented with a gingival nodule perceived during pregnancy that persisted about 18 years. Histologic sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) revealed fragments of mucosa with parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium underlined by highly cellular connective tissue with plump fibroblast arranged in interlacing fascicles was seen. Osteoid rim was seen around few bony trabeculae along with numerous blood vessels with included odontogenic epithelium. The histopathologic finds of this lesion are discussed, and comparisons are made with other reports in the literature.
