Abstract

The giant cell fibroma is a fibrous tumour with a distinctive clinicopathologic features which sets it apart from a conventional fibroma. It represents approximately 2% to 5% of all oral fibrous proliferations submitted for biopsy and is found predominantly in Caucasians and rarely in other races. Most often giant cell fibroma is mistaken for papilloma because of its papillary surface or fibroma because of its fibrous or elastic nature. Here, we report a case of giant cell fibroma, in the region of the incisive papilla, in a 30-year old autistic female.

Dev hücreli fibroma ile ilgili olgu raporu ve güncelleme

Abstract

Dev hücreli fibroma, geleneksel fibromdan ayırt edici klinikopatolojik özelliklerle ayrılan fibröz bir tümördür. Biyopsi alınan tüm oral fibröz proliferasyonların yaklaşık %2 ile %5’ini oluşturmakla beraber ağırlıklı olarak Kafkaslarda nadiren diğer ırklarda görülür. Çoğu zaman dev hücreli fibroma, papiller yüzeyi nedeniyle papilloma ile ya da fibröz veya elastik yapısından dolayı fibrom ile karıştırılmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda 30 yaşındaki otistik bir kadın hastanın kesici papilla bölgesinde gözlenen dev hücreli fibroma anlatılmaktadır.
