Abstract
Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) and Pyogenic Granuloma (PG) are common reactive lesions in the oral cavity, presenting distinct histomorphological characteristics. We report a case of a 54-year-old female patient with a singular lesion on the left posterior gingiva of the mandible. The lesion had been evolving for 8 months and presented painful symptoms. Excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathological analysis revealed fibrous connective tissue with high cellularity, spindle-shaped cells, and mineralized tissue resembling trabecular bone, alongside indications of chronic periodontal inflammation and granulation tissue. The diagnosis was peripheral ossifying fibroma associated with pyogenic granuloma and chronic inflammatory periodontal disease. Such concurrent occurrence and interrelation are rarely documented in the literature. This case underscores the significance of accurate differential diagnosis and understanding the etiopathogenic foundations of these lesions to ensure proper clinical management.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
