Abstract

The gingiva is often the site of localized growths that are considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. Many of these lesions are difficult to be identified clinically and can be identified as specific entity only on the basis of typical and consistent histomorphology.  Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is one of the inflammatory reactive hyperplasia of gingiva. It is a non-neoplastic entity, which occurs on the gingiva in response to trauma or irritation. A clinical report of a 26-year-old pregnant female with a large peripheral ossifying fibroma in the anterior maxilla showing significant growth is presented.

Keywords: Ossifying fibroma, pyogenic granuloma, trimester, osteogenesis, exostoses.
