Giant cell fibroma of the gingiva: A case report and review of literature

Clinical encounters of giant cell fibroma: A comprehensive report on two distinct cases, exploring varied clinical presentations

“…On the gingiva, where 50% of cases were discovered, mandibular gingiva was twice as likely to be closely associated as maxillary gingiva. 9 This case report sheds light on two cases of GCF with diverse clinical appearances, which could possibly be misdiagnosed as any other reactive mucosal lesion.…”

“…14 Lesions with a relatively high fibrotic component and more fibroblasts and collagen fibers are generally firm, robust, and pink. 9 The provisional and differential diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma and fibrous odontogenic tumor respectively was coined due to the firmness and pale pearly white coloration of the lesion in case one while the provisional and differential diagnosis of irritational fibroma and inflammatory papillary hyperplasia, was given due to the inadvertent location which is prone to trauma and close proximity to incisive papillae which contains vascular and neural components. Due to the immense collagenous tissue, GCF does not innately regress.…”

“…To mitigate the necessity of ancillary surgical intervention, early intervention and comprehensive excision are crucial. 9,15 Diode laser excisions seems to be an effective technique for maintaining the integrity of tissue specimens due to their many potential advantages, which include high patient acceptance, while further studies are needed to understand the influence of various laser configurations on tissue microstructure.…”
