Abstract
Giant-cell fibroma is a benign fibrotic soft tissue lesion with several unique features, separating it from other oral fibrous hyperplasias. Giant cell fibromas are most commonly seen in younger adults. It is often mistaken with fibroma because of due to its clinical resemblance. Its peculiar histopathological features help to distinguish giant-cell fibroma from them. The presence of stellate fibroblasts and multi-nucleated giant cells makes this lesion a different pathological entity. This article presents a case report of giant-cell fibroma in a 65-year-old female patient, this late manifestation of the lesion makes the case unusual.
