LARGE PERIPHERAL ODONTOGENIC FIBROMA: CLINICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL ASPECTS: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POdF) is an odontogenic neoplasm of connective tissue. Due to the rarity of POdF, the lesion is not commonly reported in the literature. POdF is a benign, slow-growing, asymptomatic, non-ulcerated gingival mass seen mainly in the anterior mandible. It is designated as the extraosseous counterpart of the central odontogenic fibroma (COF). POdF mainly consists of connective tissue with various amounts of epithelial nests. This entity should be added to armamentarium of the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors like peripheral ossifying fibroma, peripheral ameloblastoma, pyogenic granuloma, and giant cell granuloma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recurrence was reported in the literature. Thus, the patient should be followed up regularly after the surgery.

Periferik odontojenik fibromun klinik ve histolojik olarak değerlendirilmesi: Vaka raporu

Abstract

Periferik odontojenik fibroma, bağ dokusundan gelişen bir tümördür. Periferik odontojenik fibroma, nadir görülen bir tümördür, bu nedenle literatürde çok bahsedilmemiştir. Periferik odontojenik fibroma, iyi huylu, yavaş büyüyen, asemptomatik ve sıklıkla mandibula anterior bölgede görülür. Santral odontojenik fibromun, ekstraossöz formu olarak bilinmektedir. Periferik odontojenik fibrom genel olarak bağ dokusu ve epitel kalıntıları içerir. Periferik odontojenik fibromun, pyojenik granülomdan, periferal ameloblastomadan, periferik ossifiye fibromdan ve dev hücreli granülomdan ayırıcı tanısı yapılmalıdır. Tedavisi cerrahidir. Cerrahi tedaviden sonra nüks rapor edilmiştir. Bu nedenle hastalar düzenli takip edilmelidir.
