In the buccal mucosa are observed, with relative frequency, gingival enlargements such as the peripheral ossifying fibroma, which is considered a reactive inflammatory soft tissue lesion. It is clinically characterized by a slow-growing, disfiguring swelling with no clear cause, although its formation is associated with trauma or chronic irritation at the gingival level. Its appearance is usually at the level of the interdental papilla in the anterior region of the maxilla, although it can be seen in other regions of the oral cavity. The treatment is surgical consisting of the total enucleation of the lesion and removing the irritating factors. On radiographs, the frequently observed image appears as a well-defined, unilocular, radiolucent area delimited by a radiopaque halo (sclerotic); it can be occasionally presented as a radiopaque image.

Keywords : fibroma ossifying/surgery; bone neoplasms.
