The peripheral odontogenic fibroma is a relatively rare, benign, unencapsulated and gingival mass of fibrous connective tissue, considered to be the extraosseous counterpart of the central odontogenic fibroma. Peripheral odontogenic fibroma was earlier quite commonly confused with peripheral ossifying fibroma, until WHO classification (1992), classified it under odontogenic tumours. Peripheral odontogenic fibroma is seen so infrequently that little is known about this neoplasm; the largest series of cases have been that of Farman who found five cases in the literature and added another 10 cases. Through this case report we try to clarify the features of this condition and attempt to clear its distinction with other commonly occurring conditions.
外周性牙源性纤维瘤是一种相对罕见的、良性的、无包膜的牙龈纤维结缔组织肿块，被认为是中央性牙源性纤维瘤的骨外对应物。外周性牙源性纤维瘤早期常与外周性骨化性纤维瘤混淆，直到世界卫生组织（1992年）将其归类于牙源性肿瘤。外周性牙源性纤维瘤极为少见，对这种肿瘤了解甚少；最大规模的病例系列是法曼的研究，他在文献中发现了5例病例，并另外补充了10例。通过本病例报告，我们试图阐明这种疾病的特征，并试图明确它与其他常见疾病的区别。
