Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Giant cell fibroma is a benign soft tissue lesion, typically occurring in adults.
  • Its occurrence in pediatric patients is infrequent, making diagnosis and management challenging.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 3-year-old boy presenting with a giant cell fibroma.
  • The etiology of this specific lesion in such a young patient remains undetermined.

Findings:

  • The lesion was surgically excised using electrosurgery.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of giant cell fibroma.
  • Post-operative follow-up revealed no signs of recurrence.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering uncommon pathologies in pediatric dentistry.
