Reactive lesions of the oral cavity are non-neoplastic proliferations occurring due to chronic irritation. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive lesion usually occurring on the interdental papilla. POF is predominantly found in the second decade of life with a definitive female predilection. This is a case report of a middle-aged male patient with gingival overgrowth in left lower back tooth region. Clinically, the lesion was asymptomatic, firm, pale pink and sessile but unusually large in size. Surgical excision of the lesion was done followed by histopathological confirmation with emphasis on the diagnosis. The case in question is interesting because of its large size and location.
口腔反应性病变是由于慢性刺激而发生的非肿瘤性增生。外周骨化性纤维瘤（POF）是一种反应性病变，通常发生在牙间乳头。POF 主要发生在生命的第二个十年，并有明确的女性偏好。这是一例中年男性患者的病例报告，其左下后牙区域出现牙龈过度生长。临床上，病变无明显症状，质地坚硬，呈浅粉色，无蒂，但大小异常大。对病变进行了手术切除，并进行了组织病理学确认，重点是诊断。这个病例很有趣，因为它的体积大和位置特殊。
