Abstract

This article describes a case of giant cell fibroma in a 3-year-old boy, which is an uncommon age for this lesion. The cause of this pathology has not been determined. The lesion was excised by electro surgery and submitted to a histological exam, which confirmed the diagnosis. No recurrence was observed. Pediatric dentists should be capable to diagnose and treat this kind of lesion despite this lesion being an unusual pathology among children.
