A Massive Growth in the Palate: A Case Report.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman who developed an extensive, slow-growing lesion occupying the whole of the palate in 10 years. Considering clinical and radiographic features, calcifying neoplasms were considered. Correlating microscopic features with clinical features, the lesion was diagnosed as peripheral ossifying fibroma, which seldom presents as an extensive lesion on the palate amongst the elderly age group. This case report will highlight clinicians and pathologists about a rare presentation of a commonly encountered lesion with a comprehensive view of the differential diagnosis of other comparable lesions.
