The purpose of the present article was to present a clinical case of an 11-year-old girl with peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF). Additionally, after performing a literature review, we identified clinical information that occurs more frequently in association with POF, such evidence would help professionals in yielding a specific diagnosis and tailor a more specific therapeutic approach with the objective to decrease morbidities' associated with POF. This lesion represents the third most common lesion of all localized reactive hyperplastic lesions. Clinical aspects related to this pathology include the fact that it occurs most frequently in women between the first and second decades of life. It affects anterior maxillary region and interferes with normal functioning of this anatomical structure. After conducting the literature search, we found that it can also be presented in a considerable number of males with pain and hyperemia being the most common clinical manifestations. We found that often clinical cases are presented with incomplete information. It is important that in order to get to a consensus with respect to updates about information related to this lesion, new case series that include complete clinical information, radiographic analysis, and histopathology tests could be presented.
