Abstract
Giant cell fibroma (GCF) is an asymptomatic nodular mass lesion, sessile or pediculated, generally with a diameter equal or smaller than 1 cm. GCF is often related to young patients, and the gingiva is the most affected site, but it may occur in the palate and tongue. This is a report of case of a GCF arising in a 42-year-old white female patient presenting with a lesion in the anterior gingiva, with an evolution of 7 years. During the clinical examination, a nodule was observed between the upper central and lateral incisors. Diagnostic hypotheses were peripheral ossifying fibroma and fibrous hyperplasia. An excisional biopsy was performed. According to the histopathologic patterns, a diagnosis of giant cell fibroma was made. The patient underwent clinical reexamination and after 1 year there was no evidence of a recurrence.
