The tumors of odontogenic origin generally present as swellings present within the bone, but they may be seen superficial to the bone on the gingival tissues which are known as peripheral odontogenic tumors (POTs). These are not seen commonly but the most common of these is Peripheral odontogenic fibroma which is a slowly progressing benign enlargement of the periodontium. This type of enlargement generally has a substantial chance of recurrence, but the exact figure is unknown. This paper presents a case report of “Peripheral Odontogenic fibroma” with the clinical and histological findings.
