Abstract (2. Language):
Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma is a relatively rare tumour classified between fibro osseous lesions. It
predominantly affects adolescents and young adults, with peak prevalence between 10 and 19 yrs. There is a
definite female predilection and almost 60% of the lesions occur in the maxilla. Trauma or local irritation such
as dental calculus, ill-fitting denture appliances and faulty restorations are known to precipitate the development
of this lesion. Such a lesion can either interfere with normal tooth eruption or become a factor in plaque
development, which usually results in caries formation in newly erupted teeth. The present report describes a
case of Peripheral cemento ossifying fibroma PCOF in a 21 year old female with a mass on the lower left
posterior lingual gingiva.
