1. Introduction
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POdF) is a rare ectomesenchymal, benign
odontogenic tumor that most often occurs in adult women, frequently in
the mandible and anterior maxilla regions.1,2Histopathologically, the tumor consists of fibrotic tissue with
odontogenic epithelium and hard tissue showing varying degrees of
calcification, but its expression is rare.3,4
Along with a review of the literature, here we report a case of POdF
arising in the mandibular premolar region of a teenager.
