Abstract
Giant cell fibroma, a relatively rare entity, is a benign non-neoplastic lesion of the oral cavity. This lesion occurs most commonly in the gingiva. Clinically it appears as a slow-growing, sessile or pedunculated mass of around 0.5 to 1 cm in its greatest dimension. These oral benign lesions occur in the second to third decades of life. Histopathological findings of these lesions show a characteristic feature of stellate or giant-shaped fibroblasts. Here, we report a case of giant cell fibroma, occurring in the region of the tongue (a relatively rare location) in a 46-year-old female patient. This case report emphasizes the need for its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of oral soft tissue swellings as a regular entity.
