Abstract
Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma is an unusual, localized reactive, benign lesion of the oral cavity that shows various degrees of fibrous maturation and calcification in the histopathology. The lesion is often misdiagnosed, hence appropriate radiographs and histopathological examination are crucial for its correct diagnosis and management. The lesion has a high recurrence rate. The present report highlights a case of peripheral cement-ossifying fibroma in a 24-year-old female patient who was surgically excised. The growth, however, recurred after 4 months which was then managed by scalpel excision as well as aggressive curettage and root planing.
