ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: El fibroma osificante periférico (FOP) es una hipertrofia benigna de los tejidos. Se localiza en la región de la papila interdental, proveniente de células que derivan del ligamento periodontal. Generalmente mide menos de 1,5cm de diámetro, siendo muy raro en recién nacidos. El objetivo de la presentación de este caso clínico es describir un caso de FOP en un bebé de 6 meses de edad. La niña presentaba una lesión nodular localizada en la mucosa gingival, en el área de incisivos inferiores, de aproximadamente 1,5cm diámetro, de consistencia firme, lisa, y coloración igual a la de la mucosa subyacente. Un diente neonatal había sido removido a los 2 meses de nacida. El FOP es una lesión poco común y que raramente puede encontrarse en bebés menores de un año de edad; por este motivo es importante realizar el diagnóstico adecuado, para evitar cualquier complicación debido a su establecimiento precoz y rápido crecimiento.


ABSTRACT: The peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a rare, reactive and inflammatory gingival overgrowth, arising on the interdental papilla, from cells derived of the periodontal ligament. Usually its diameter is less than 1.5 cm. It's uncommon in newborns, frequently occurring in teenagers and young adult. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of FOP in a six months old baby. She had a nodular lesion, located on the gingival mucosa of the lower incisor area, of approximately 1.5 cm; it was firm, smooth, pedunculated, with an equal color of the underlying mucosa. A neonatal tooth had been removed four months back. Although FOP is a rare injury, it can be found in infants with less than one year of age, which is why it is important to make the right diagnosis, and an opportune treatment, to avoid further complications due to its early establishment and rapid growth.
