title: Comparison between the peripheral ossifying fibroma and peripheral odontogenic fibroma.
abstract: This study presents previously unreported data on a series of 400 peripheral ossifying fibromas (POFs) and 13 peripheral odontogenic fibromas (PODFs). The differences between the two lesions are discussed, and comparisons are made with other reports in the literature. It is concluded that the lesions represent separate pathologic entities.
