Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a benign oral soft tissue tumor . It is a non-malignant tumor . It is a localized reactive lesion that primarily occurs on gingiva and may also appear on the buccal mucosa . It most commonly found in the maxilla than mandible and has a female predilection , mostly seen in the second and third decades.
