A Case Report - Peripheral Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma: Insight into Diagnosis, Management, and Histopathological Examination
Keywords:
Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma, gingival lesions, histopathological examination, surgical excision.Abstract
Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion with an odontogenic origin that often presents as a localized gingival overgrowth. This report underscores the importance of early diagnosis, combined clinical, radiographic, and histological examination, and comprehensive surgical intervention in managing PCOF to prevent recurrence. This case is presented to highlight the clinical and histopathological characteristics of PCOF and the outcomes of the adopted treatment strategies.
