Giant Cell Fibroma can present as a nodular growth in the oral cavity, representing approximately 2% to 5% of all oral fibrous proliferations. They can be best distinguished from other fibrous lesions by their typical histopathological features of presence of stellate shape fibroblasts. Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old female with a mass on the tongue and discuss its clinical and histopathological differential diagnosis.
