Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a relatively uncommon gingival growth that is considered to be reactive in nature and appear secondary to irritation or trauma. It presents as an exophytic growth with smooth surface. POF in older age group, observance of calcification in radiograph of excised specimen, pathologic migration, mobility and size greater than 2 cm is an occasional entity. The article presents such a rare case of POF in a 60-year-old female patient which was treated by surgical excision. This case contradicts the logic that this lesion occurs in teenagers and in second and third decades of life.

Focal gingival enlargements are a diverse group of lesions with almost similar clinical presentation but varied etiology and histopathology. The actual cause of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) has been debated over many years. POFs are usually seen in childhood and younger ages. There is a slight female predilection. It is usually localized, rarely generalized. Usually, the treatment option is only surgical excision with minimal chances of recurrence. Here, we report a case of POF of the right maxillary posterior region with a review of literature.

“…Although excision is usually curative, a recurrence rate of 8% through 18% has been reported, mainly owing to incomplete removal. [7][8][9][10][11] DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS PG PG is a tumorlike growth that is nonneoplastic in nature. 12 PGs manifest as a pedunculated pink, red, or purple mass, often with an ulcerated surface.…”

57-year-old woman had a slow-growing mass affecting the maxillary right posterior gingiva of 2 years' duration. She denied initial trauma to the area and was asymptomatic. Her medical history was significant for gastroesophageal reflux disorder and attention deficit disorder. Surgical, family, and social histories were unremarkable. Medications included ranitidine hydrochloride, dexlansoprazole, dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride, lamotrigine, and citalopram hydrobromide. The patient reported no known drug allergies and food allergies associated with broccoli, cauliflower, and red dye. The review of systems was unremarkable. The extraoral examination revealed a well-nourished, well-developed woman with no evidence of lymphadenopathy, salivary gland enlargement, or thyromegaly. The intraoral examination revealed a pink-red, soft, nontender, 2-centimeter mass on the buccal gingiva in the area of tooth no. 2 with an intact mucosal surface (Figure 1). Tooth no. 2 responded normally to thermal testing. A periapical radiograph of tooth no. 2 (Figure 2A) and a cone-beam computed tomographic scan (Figure 2B) did not reveal dental or intrabony pathology in the area of the gingival lesion. An excisional biopsy was performed, and the soft-tissue defect was closed with a local mucoperiosteal advancement flap. The histopathologic examination revealed a soft-tissue lesion composed of haphazardly arranged, plump, uniform fibroblasts in an immature collagenous stroma with scattered metaplastic calcifications (Figures 3 and 4).
