Abstract
Aim and background: This report aims to present a case of giant cell fibroma (GCF) of the anterior palate in a pediatric patient.
Case description: A 5-year-old patient reported to the department with a chief complaint of swelling in relation to the palatal region for 6 months. An excisional biopsy was done, and after microscopic analysis, the swelling was diagnosed as GCF. The patient was recalled for routine follow-up after 5 months, and there was no evidence of recurrence.
Conclusion: Giant cell fibroma is a localized, benign mucosal growth that resembles other fibroepithelial growths, and its difference from other lesions is based on its histopathological features.Clinicalsignificance: Giant cell fibroma is a rare fibroepithelial lesion that represents approximately 2-5% of specimens submitted for biopsy and 0.4-1% of total biopsies.

目的与背景:本报告报告一例小儿前腭巨细胞纤维瘤(GCF)。病例描述:一名5岁的患者以腭区肿胀6个月为主诉向科室报告。切除活检,镜检分析后,肿胀诊断为GCF。5个月后,患者被召回进行常规随访,无复发迹象。结论:巨细胞纤维瘤是一种与其他纤维上皮生长类似的局部良性粘膜生长,其与其他病变的区别在于其组织病理学特征。临床意义:巨细胞纤维瘤是一种罕见的纤维上皮病变,约占活检标本的2-5%,占总活检标本的0.4-1%。如何引用本文:Mathew J, Jose SC, Abraham KK等。小儿上颚巨细胞纤维瘤一例。中华临床儿科杂志;2009;17(9):1068-1070。
