Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF) is a rare lesion, the extraosseous counterpart of the odontogenic fibroma, an odontogenic tumor of ectomesenchymal origin. Clinically it resembles as the reactional processes and has slow growth. The purpose of the study is to present a clinical case of posterior maxillary POF mimicking inflammatory periodontal disease in a 42-year-old woman who, after complete surgical excision, is followed up every six months without recurrence of the lesion. POF is a lesion characterized by fibroblast proliferation containing portions of apparently inactive odontogenic epithelium. The surgical treatment, when well performed, presents a very favorable prognosis, with a rare chance of relapse. It is important to emphasize that all the gingival lesions should be submitted to the anatomopathological examination, and the radiographic examination of the region is fundamental to evaluate the extent of the lesion.
