Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma – A case report

Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) is an osteogenic neoplasm which is rare and is usually present as an epulis-like growth. It is of a reactive nature rather than a neoplastic growth. Its pathogenesis is uncertain. Predominantly, it affects adolescent and young adults with greatest prevalence around 20–30 years. Here, we report a rare clinical case of PCOF of the mandible with a history of just 2 months, occurring in a 23-year-old male involving the dentulous mandibular anterior region.
