Abstract
Giant cell fibroma is a non-neoplastic lesion of fibrous connective tissue origin considered to be a variant of fibroma. It differs significantly from routine fibromas in that its stroma contains very large stellate fibroblasts, making it to be known as a separate entity. The purpose of this article is to report a case of a gaint cell fibroma in a 35-year-old male patient and briefly emphasize on the differential diagnosis of this lesion. Though it is customary to manage giant cell fibroma with routine excisional biopsy, our case report highlighted the use of a diode laser as an alternate safe and reliable technique to remove the lesion without any postoperative discomfort and minimize the patient’s esthetic concerns.
