Reactive Processes

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive process of the gingiva that develops due to irritation or minor trauma. Females are more affected than males suggesting a hormonal influence. This case report describes a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 48-year-old male patient in 33, 34 regions in contrast to its common occurrence in young females. Histopathological examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice to prevent recurrence. One year follow up of the case showed no signs of recurrence. Gingival overgrowth is a common feature of the various types of gingival disease in the oral cavity. Gingival diseases and conditions can be due to genetic disorder, specific infections, inflammatory and immune conditions and lesions, reactive processes, neoplasms, endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases, traumatic lesions and gingival pigmentation.1 Reactive processes are non-neoplastic nodular swellings that develop in response to local irritation or minor trauma. The term epulis is exophytic processes confined to the gingiva.2 Kfir et al. classified epulides into fibrous epulis, peripheral ossifying fibroma, pyogenic granuloma (vascular epulis), peripheral giant cell granuloma (or central).3 Ossifying fibromas in the oral cavity can be classified into central and peripheral type. The central type expands from the medullary cavity of the bone, arising from the endosteum or the periodontal ligament (PDL) adjacent to the root apex. Peripheral type arises from the soft tissues overlying the alveolar process which is contiguous with the periodontal ligament. 4 This article presents a case of POF in a male patient.

Irritation Fibroma

The gingiva is often considered as one of the most common sites of localized growths that are considered to be reactive rather than malignant in nature. Clinically, the majority of these lesions are difficult to identify, and therefore histopathology is useful in diagnosing these lesions as specific entities only on the basis of typical and consistent features. Focal gingival enlargements are quite frequent lesions in the oral cavity amounting to almost 3.1% of all oral tumors and 9.6% of gingival lesions. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is one of the reactive lesions that have typical histopathological features. Since the late 1940s, intraoral ossifying fibromas have been discussed in the literature. The term “Peripheral ossifying fibroma” is usually used to describe a fibroma of the gingiva which shows areas of calcification or ossification. They are usually classified as non-neoplastic enlargement of the gingiva. Many POFs are thought to develop initially as a pyogenic granuloma that undergoes fibrous maturation and subsequent calcification. However, many authors have suggested that rather than a transitional form of pyogenic granuloma or irritation fibroma, POF represents a separate clinical entity. Different lesions with clinical presentations similar to POF make it difficult to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis. Usually, the treatment of POF includes excision of the lesion surgically with minimal chances of recurrence. This paper describes a case report of a 32 year old female patient who reported growth on gingiva in the mandibular left anterior region of the mouth for three years.

In oral cavity, the site for localised growth is usually gingiva which is considered as reactive in nature. Many of these lesions can be identified only on the basis of typical and consistent histomorphology and are difficult to identify clinically. One such reactive lesion which is clinically similar in presentation is Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF). Females are affected more often than males. The presented case report is of a 45-year-old female with a significant growth of large POF in the anterior maxilla. The various clinical, radiological and histological features and diagnosis of POF with its treatment of choice are explained.
