Abstract

Lesions exhibiting characteristics of different pathologies within the same lesion, known as hybrid lesions, have been reported in the literature. The aim of this article is to report a case of a rare hybrid lesion of Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) associated with Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) and to discuss its clinical, imaging, and histopathological characteristics. We report the case of 49-year-old man with a lesion that presented clinical, histological and radiological characteristics of PGCG and POF. In conclusion, hybrid lesions involving PGCG and POF are rare and, although they share etiological factors, they may represent variations in the biological response of the affected tissues.
