“…described three cases of POF diffusely affecting both jaws, one of which was congenital and coexisted with multiple skin xanthogranulomas and corneal opacities 6 . This clinical variant has also been reported in a 41‐year‐old Japanese woman who presented with recurrent multinodular lesions of the anterior segment of the maxilla and the entire area of the mandible 5 . An interesting finding in our patient was generalised maturation defects of enamel.…”

This report describes the case of a 12‐year‐old girl who presented with diffuse enlargements of the anterior gingiva in both jaws. The clinical diagnosis was an inflammatory hyperplasia, but gingivectomy samples from all involved sites showed similar histological features consistent with odontogenic fibroma. Another peculiar finding was generalised mottled enamel. This is the fifth case of a diffuse clinical variant of peripheral odontogenic fibroma documented in the literature.

“…Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF) typically presents as a solitary gingival mass [1][2][3][4] . There are four reported cases of a rare subtype of POF that show a diffuse manifestation 5,6 . The resulting clinical appearance is very similar to that seen in the fairly common hyperplastic gingivitis.…”
