Fibroma de fibroblastos gigantes: presentación de 122 casos / Giant Cell fibroma: presentation of 122 cases

El fibroma de fibroblastos gigantes (FFG), conocido también como fibroma de células gigantes, es una pápula o nódulo asintomático localizado en la encía, paladar y lengua, es del mismo color que la mucosa adyacente, de base sésil o pediculada, con superficie lisa o papilar que por lo general mide menos de 1 cm. Objetivo: Identificar las características demográficas e histopatológicas de los casos de FFG de un laboratorio privado de patología bucal en la Ciudad de México. Material y métodos: Se obtuvieron los datos de edad, sexo, diagnóstico presuntivo y definitivo de 122 casos de FFG de 2004 a 2019 con un total de 7,681 muestras. Se describe su distribución por edad, sexo y localización. Resultados: El rango de edad obtenido es de 1 a 84 años, con un promedio de X = 38 años, se presenta con mayor frecuencia en la segunda década de vida, con una razón de 1.6:1 mujer a hombre. La localización más frecuente es en lengua (46%); sin embargo, sólo 49.1% de los estudios especificaban este dato. Conclusión: La importancia de esta lesión es que clínicamente se parece a otras patologías de tejido fibroso, por lo tanto, se debe tener presente al FFG como diagnóstico diferencial (AU)

Giant cell fibroma (GCF) is an asymptomatic papule or nodule that is similar in color to the surrounding mucosa, with a sessile or pedunculated base. It is usually less than 1 cm in size and it features a smooth or papillary surface. Objective: To identify the demographic and histopathological characteristics of GCF cases in a private oral pathology laboratory in Mexico City. Material and methods: Data on age, sex, as well as on presumptive and definitive diagnosis of 122 GCF cases were obtained from 2004 to 2019 with a total of 7,681 samples. Its distribution by age, sex and localization is described. Results: The age range obtained is from 1 to 84 years, with a mean age of 38 years. Frequently during the second decade of life, the female to male ratio is 1.6:1. The most frequent location is the tongue (46%), however, only 60 of 122 studies specified this data. Conclusion: Since this lesion clinically resembles another fibrous tissue pathology, it is warranted to have prior knowledge on its clinical characteristics, as GCF should be regarded as a differential diagnosis (AU)

Giant-Cell Fibroma of Oral Cavity- A Case Report

Giant-cell fibroma is a benign fibrotic soft tissue lesion with several unique features, separating it from other oral fibrous hyperplasias. Giant cell fibromas are most commonly seen in younger adults. It is often mistaken with fibroma because of due to its clinical resemblance. Its peculiar histopathological features help to distinguish giant-cell fibroma from them. The presence of stellate fibroblasts and multi-nucleated giant cells makes this lesion a different pathological entity. This article presents a case report of giant-cell fibroma in a 65-year-old female patient, this late manifestation of the lesion makes the case unusual.

Fibroma de Células Gigantes en Lactante Mayor / Giant Cell Fibroma in Older Infant. A Case Report

RESUMEN: El fibroma de células gigantes es considerado un tumor benigno no neoplásico de la mucosa oral. Este aparece en las primeras tres décadas de la vida, siendo relativamente raro en pacientes pediátricos. Puede encontrarse principalmente en la encía mandibular, mostrando predilección por el sexo femenino. Clínicamente se presenta como un crecimiento indoloro, de base sésil o pediculado, que generalmente se confunde con otras lesiones de tipo fibrosas como los fibromas de irritación. Histológicamente, se distingue por presentar fibroblastos estrellados con la presencia de células gigantes multinucleadas cerca de la lámina del epitelio. Presentamos el caso de una paciente femenino de un año de edad la cual presenta crecimiento nodular indoloro en relación con una superficie del paladar de 51 y 61. Teniendo en cuenta el tamaño y la ubicación de la lesión, se realizó escisión, biopsia y se envió para análisis histopatológico que confirmó la lesión como fibroma de células gigantes.

ABSTRACT: The giant cell fibroma is a benign nonneoplastic fibrous tumor of the oral mucosa. It occurs in the first three decades of life and is relatively rare in pediatric patients. It can be found predominantly in the mandibular gingiva, showing predilection for females. Clinically it presents as a painless, sessile, or pedunculated growth which is usually mistaken for other fibrous lesions like irritation fibroids. Histologically it is distinguished by the presence of stellated fibroblasts along with multinucleated giant cells near the epithelial sheet. We present a case where a one-year-old female patient presented with a painless nodular growth in relation to a palatesurface of 51 and 61. Considering the size and location of the lesion, excision and biopsy were performed and sent for histopathological analysis which confirmed the lesion as giant cell fibroma.

Fibroma gingival de células gigantes de tamaño inusual / Gingival giant cell fibroma of unusual size

Giant cell fibroma is a benign oral fibrous tumor and it is typically an asymptomatic sessile or pedunculated mass that is usually less than 1 cm in diameter. The lesion consists of uninflamed fibrous tissue in which there are numerous large uninucleated or multinucleated spindle- and stellate-shaped cells with prominent basophilic cytoplasm. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of a gingival giant cell fibroma of abnormal size. A 31-year-old white woman was referred to the dental service for evaluation of a growth on the mandibular gingival. The intraoral examination revealed a 3.0 × 1.5 cm exophytic gingival mass located in the lingual gingiva of the right mandibular permanent first and second molars. The differential diagnosis included peripheral ossifying fibroma, peripheral giant cell granuloma, and giant cell fibroma. Complete surgical excision of the lesion was performed and the diagnosis of giant cell fibroma was made. No complications or recurrence of the lesion have been noted after 4 years of follow-up. Although giant cell fibromas are benign lesions in which simple surgical excision is curative, it is very important that dental and medical professionals recognize it in light of the frequency of occurrence and the need for a precise diagnosis(AU)

El fibroma de células gigantes es un tumor fibroso benigno de la mucosa bucal que típicamente se presenta como una masa asintomática sésil o pediculada generalmente menos de 1 cm de diámetro. La lesión consiste en tejido fibroso no inflamado en el que se encuentran numerosas células fusiformes y estrelladas de gran tamaño, mononucleares o multinucleadas con prominente citoplasma basófilo. El propósito de este trabajo es describir el caso de un fibroma gingival de células gigantes de tamaño inusual. Una mujer blanca de 31 años de edad se presentó al servicio dental para la evaluación de un crecimiento en la encía mandibular. El examen clínico intrabucal reveló una masa gingival exofítica de 3,0 cm x 1,5 cm situado en la encía lingual en el área de los primeros y segundos molares permanentes mandibulares del lado derecho. El diagnóstico diferencial incluyó fibroma osificante periférico, granuloma periférico de células gigantes y fibroma de células gigantes. Se realizó la escisión quirúrgica completa de la lesión y el diagnóstico definitivo fue de fibroma de células gigantes. No se han observado complicaciones o recurrencia de la lesión después de 4 años de seguimiento. Aunque los fibromas de células gigantes son lesiones benignas en las que la escisión quirúrgica simple es curativa, es muy importante que los profesionales dentales y médicos reconozcan la necesidad de un diagnóstico preciso en vista de la frecuencia de aparición(AU)

The lesion is excised using diaod laser and no recurrence is noted over a period of 12 months. The importance of histological examination in such cases is stressed upon.

Laser Excision of A Giant Cell Fibroma - Report of A Case And Review of Literature.

Giant cell fibroma is a non-neoplastic lesion of fibrous connective tissue origin considered to be a variant of fibroma. It differs significantly from routine fibromas in that its stroma contains very large stellate fibroblasts, making it to be known as a separate entity. The purpose of this article is to report a case of a gaint cell fibroma in a 35-year-old male patient and briefly emphasize on the differential diagnosis of this lesion. Though it is customary to manage giant cell fibroma with routine excisional biopsy, our case report highlighted the use of a diode laser as an alternate safe and reliable technique to remove the lesion without any postoperative discomfort and minimize the patient’s esthetic concerns.
