This report aims to present a case of giant cell fibroma (GCF) of the anterior palate in a pediatric patient.
A 5-year-old patient reported to the department with a chief complaint of swelling in relation to the palatal region for 6 months. An excisional biopsy was done, and after microscopic analysis, the swelling was diagnosed as GCF. The patient was recalled for routine follow-up after 5 months, and there was no evidence of recurrence.
Giant cell fibroma is a localized, benign mucosal growth that resembles other fibroepithelial growths, and its difference from other lesions is based on its histopathological features. Giant cell fibroma is a rare fibroepithelial lesion that represents approximately 2-5% of specimens submitted for biopsy and 0.4-1% of total biopsies.

本报告旨在介绍一例小儿患者前腭部巨细胞纤维瘤（GCF）的病例。
一名5岁患者因腭部肿胀6个月为主诉前来就诊。进行了切除活检，经显微镜分析后，该肿胀被诊断为GCF。5个月后患者被召回进行常规随访，未发现复发迹象。
巨细胞纤维瘤是一种局限性良性黏膜增生，类似于其他纤维上皮性增生，其与其他病变的区别基于组织病理学特征。巨细胞纤维瘤是一种罕见的纤维上皮性病变，约占活检送检标本的2 - 5%，占所有活检的0.4 - 1%。
