Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) typically affects the gingiva. This unique case report details an unusual presentation of POF, differing in cause, scale, and position.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Tumor biology
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a common reactive hyperplasia of the oral soft tissues.
  • POF predominantly affects the gingiva, often originating from the periodontal ligament.

Observation:

  • This case report describes a peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) with atypical characteristics.
  • The observed POF presented with unique etiological factors, significant size, and an unusual anatomical location.

Findings:

  • The etiology, size, and location of this specific POF case deviate from typical presentations.
  • Detailed analysis of this unique case contributes to understanding POF variations.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering atypical presentations in diagnosing peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF).

  • Further research into the diverse origins and presentations of POF is warranted.
  • Understanding rare POF cases can refine clinical management strategies.
