ABSTRACT

Giant cell fibroma (GCF) is an asymptomatic papule or nodule that is similar in color to the surrounding mucosa, with a sessile or pedunculated base. It is usually less than 1 cm in size and it features a smooth or papillary surface. Objective: To identify the demographic and histopathological characteristics of GCF cases in a private oral pathology laboratory in Mexico City. Material and methods: Data on age, sex, as well as on presumptive and definitive diagnosis of 122 GCF cases were obtained from 2004 to 2019 with a total of 7,681 samples. Its distribution by age, sex and localization is described. Results: The age range obtained is from 1 to 84 years, with a mean age of 38 years. Frequently during the second decade of life, the female to male ratio is 1.6:1. The most frequent location is the tongue (46%), however, only 60 of 122 studies specified this data. Conclusion: Since this lesion clinically resembles another fibrous tissue pathology, it is warranted to have prior knowledge on its clinical characteristics, as GCF should be regarded as a differential diagnosis.
