Introduction Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a common localized, reactive benign gingival growth. POF usually measuring <2 cm in diameter. Case presentation We present a case of a 25-year-old, female with a large-sized peripheral ossifying fibroma in the oral cavity. The patient presented with an asymptomatic, slowly growing gingival mass in the lower left anterior area of the oral cavity which had been gradually increased in size for more than five years. Clinical discussion This case report shows that POF can grow and reach unusual dimensions that may, also, contribute to occlusal problems and lip incompetence. Conclusion POF should be excised completely to decrease the chance of lesion recurrence.
