Abstract

This case report delves into the complexities of Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF), a rare benign gingival enlargement in oral pathology. The exploration encompasses the clinical presentation, diagnostic methodologies, treatment modalities, and long-term management of POF. The presented case involves a 21-year-old female with a three-year history of gum swelling and loose teeth. Through clinical, radiographic, and histopathological examinations, POF was diagnosed, emphasizing the challenges in distinguishing it from similar conditions. The comprehensive review guides clinicians through the intricate landscape of POF, contributing to enhanced diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes. The synergy of clinical, radiological, and histopathological assessments is crucial in unraveling the mysteries of rare occurrences like POF, ensuring timely and appropriate patient care for optimal outcomes.
