[Peripheral ossifying fibroma of maxilla]. / Üst çenede periferik ossifiye fibrom.

Peripheral ossifying fibromas are rare pathologies characterized by the replacement of bone to fibrous tissue. In this article, we report a 64-year-old female case admitted to our clinic with a mass in the oral cavity for 10 years. On physical examination, a 5x4 cm, well-defined, pedunculated mass was detected in the anterior arch of the right maxilla. Based on the clinical, radiographic and histopathological findings, the mass was diagnosed as an ossifying fibroma.
