N2 - Giant cell fibroma is a benign oral fibrous tumour. The clinical appearance of majority of non-neoplastic fibrous growths is similar, but unique histopathological features of giant cell fibroma aid in its final diagnosis. It usually manifests as an asymptomatic, sessile or pedunculated mass usually less than 1 cm in diameter. In this case report, we highlight a case of giant cell fibroma in a 58-year-old male patient, which had an unusual size with associated pain. Although giant cell fibromas are benign lesions, it is important for dentists to be aware of this lesion based on its frequency of occurrence and need for its accurate diagnosis.
