ABSTRACT

Localized growths are commonly seen on gingiva. Many of them are reactive rather than neoplastic lesions. Clinically it becomes difficult to differentiate one specific entity from other. Histopathological examination is required for confirmative diagnosis. Peripheral ossifying fibroma is one such lesion. The signs of recurrence in spite of thorough excision and debridement exposed the need for further study of the causes of recurrence and possible modes to prevent recurrence. We present a case of recurrence of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 40 year female which recurred after 5 years.

Keywords: Peripheral ossifying fibroma, Interdental papillary lesion
