This article compares the clinical and histopathologic features of the peripheral odontogenic fibroma in human beings and the fibromatous epulis in dogs. They are apparently equivalent lesions. Both are odontogenic tumors of limited growth potential that do not recur if adequately excised; both occur in middle and late adulthood of the species concerned. The one difference is that the peripheral odontogenic fibroma is a rare condition, whereas the canine fibromatous epulis is common.
本文比较了人类外周牙源性纤维瘤与犬类龈纤维瘤的临床和组织病理学特征。它们显然是等效病变。两者都是生长潜力有限的牙源性肿瘤，若切除充分则不会复发；两者都发生在相关物种的成年中期和后期。唯一的区别是外周牙源性纤维瘤是一种罕见病症，而犬类龈纤维瘤则很常见。
