Abstract:
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma is an uncommon, benign, unencapsulated, exophytic gingival mass of fibrous connective tissue covered with a surface epithelium. Odontogenic epithelium and mineralized material may be found in the mass. A case is reported of a lesion that recurred in the attached gingiva following initial excision. Differential diagnosis of exophytic gingival lesions and post-operative management are also discussed.
