Odontogenic lesions may present as enlarged opercula and result in the delayed eruption of teeth. This case report describes the clinical and microscopic features of a peripheral odontogenic fibroma in a 13-year-old boy that involved the overlying gingiva of a partially erupted, mandibular second molar. A differential diagnosis and treatment for lesions presenting as gingival enlargements in th...

Peripheral odontogenic tumors (POTs) are uncommon, and even rarer in the pediatric population. A peripheral odontogenic fibroma (PODF) is the most numerous POT in the general and pediatric populations. The purpose of this paper was to report an unusual case of PODF in a very young child who was born at 29 weeks’ gestation. The literature on PODFs in the pediatric population is reviewed.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a benign neoplasm that usuallydevelops from gingiva, presenting as an exophytic smooth surfaced pink or red nodular mass that is sessile or is less frequently seen on a pedicle. From the Indian perspective, it is usually noticed in 5th-6th decades of life with female predilection. Microscopically, the tumour shows stratified squamous epithelium and highly cellula...

In this paper, we present a case of an uncommon and slow-growing tumor known as a central odontogenic fibroma (COF). The patient in question is a 53-year-old African-American man who was referred for periodontal evaluation of asymptomatic space formation between the mandibular central incisors. Clinical and radiological evaluations disclosed tumor-like tissue expanding the alveolar ridge in the...

Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare benign tumor usually affects the first two decades of life. The neoplasm more predominant in mandibular molar-premolar region and rarely maxilla. In this report, we present couple cases, affecting boys at their 1st decade. lesions were presented as swellings maxilla, which atypical location. Radiographic images showed well-defined radiolucency containing areas rad...

case presentation a 13-year-old boy, in the case presented in this article, had 15 unerupted teeth, each associated with hyperplastic pericoronal tissue. conclusions the purpose of this article is to report an example of this entity and describe the histopathologic characteristics that helps diagnose and treat such condition in the most appropriate manner. introduction pathologic changes may oc...

Central odontogenic fi broma (COF) is a rare benign odontogenic tumor characterized by variable amounts of inactive-looking odontogenic epithelium embedded in a mature fi brous stroma corresponding to 0-5.5% of all odontogenic tumors. COF may be seen at any age, but it is diagnosed most frequently in patients between the second and fourth decades of life. The lesion is asymptomatic except the s...

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumour, with both epithelial and mesenchymal neoplastic proliferation. It occurs most frequently in the posterior region of the mandible, while its occurrence in the maxilla is extremely rare. They are usually encountered in children, emphasizing it as an important diagnostic consideration. Herein, we report the first case of a bilater...
