In oral cavity, the site for localised growth is usually gingiva which is considered as reactive in nature. Many of these lesions can be identified only on the basis of typical and consistent histomorphology and are difficult to identify clinically. One such reactive lesion which is clinically similar in presentation is Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF). Females are affected more often than males. The presented case report is of a 45-year-old female with a significant growth of large POF in the anterior maxilla. The various clinical, radiological and histological features and diagnosis of POF with its treatment of choice are explained.
