Abstract EN

The peripheral ossifying fibroma, a benign gingival overgrowth, occurs mainly in the anterior portion of the maxilla in young adults.

The size of the lesion is usually less than 1.5 cm.

We report a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma overlying the mandibular alveolar ridge of a 55-year-old female.

MR scans showed a large exophytic soft tissue mass overlying mandibular alveolar ridge.

The tumor revealed peripheral calcifications with slight erosion of adjacent cortical plate.
