Peripheral ossifying fibroma
Abstract
A case of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in the anterior mandible of a 63-year-old woman is described. The 17 x 23 x 16mm nodular mass was sessile, displaced teeth and had a non-ulcerated, pink surface. Due to the variations in radiographic, clinical and pathological appearance, initially the diagnosis of peripheral odontogenic fibroma was reached. Complex nomenclature and variation in clinical, radiological and pathological appearance of POF and similar masses is discussed.
