Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Odontogenic Tumors
  • Fibroblastic Lesions

Background:

  • Peripheral odontogenic fibroma is a rare benign odontogenic tumor.
  • Understanding its clinicopathologic spectrum is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinicopathologic features of 30 peripheral odontogenic fibroma cases.
  • To analyze demographic, clinical, and histological characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 30 cases of peripheral odontogenic fibroma.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, lesion location, size, and recurrence.
  • Histopathological examination of tissue samples.

Main Results:

  • Wide age distribution (11-76 years) with a slight male predilection.

  • Predominantly occurred in Black individuals (93%) on the attached gingiva, equally in maxilla and mandible.
  • Lesions were non-encapsulated with variable odontogenic epithelium and connective tissue components; calcifications were noted in 22 cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Peripheral odontogenic fibroma exhibits diverse clinicopathologic features.
    • Histological variability, including calcifications, is common.
    • Further research may elucidate specific origins and behavior patterns.
