Peripheral odontogenic fibroma is a more common gingival neoplasm than previously thought, with a notable recurrence rate. This study clarifies its mixed epithelial/mesenchymal tumor classification based on microscopic analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Odontogenic tumors
  • Gingival neoplasms

Background:

  • Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF) is a rare gingival neoplasm.
  • Its biologic behavior and prevalence were previously poorly understood due to limited follow-up data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical and microscopic characteristics of POF.
  • To determine the prevalence and recurrence rate of POF.
  • To clarify the classification of POF as a mixed epithelial/mesenchymal odontogenic tumor.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical data analysis from multiple cases.
  • Light and electron microscopy of lesion components.
  • Evaluation of epithelial and mesenchymal elements for diagnostic criteria.

Main Results:

  • POF is more common than previously reported.
  • The lesion demonstrates a significant recurrence rate.
  • Microscopic analysis revealed diverse epithelial and mesenchymal components, including granular cells.

Conclusions:

  • POF is a distinct entity with a higher prevalence and recurrence rate than previously recognized.
  • The diagnosis requires both epithelial and mesenchymal components, supporting its classification as a mixed epithelial/mesenchymal odontogenic tumor.
  • Further understanding of POF's behavior is crucial for patient management.
