Abstract:

The peripheral ossifying fibroma appears as a solitary nodule, frequently occurring in the anterior maxilla. It begins in the cells of the periodontal ligament, and it is more common in children and young adults. Recent lesions are asymptomatic and patients can ignore their presence. However, in the absence of any treatment, they slowly increase in volume. In this paper, we describe a case report of a 40-year-old female patient reported with growth on gingiva in the upper left maxillary region of 1 year ago. The definitive diagnosis is established by histological analyze, which reveals the existence of highly cellular connective tissue with focal calcifications. Surgery is the treatment of choice, though the recurrence rate can reach 20%.
