The giant cell fibroma is a localized reactive proliferation of fibrous tissue, much like the irritation fibroma. Clinically it usually manifests as a small, may have be sessile/peduncalate lesion. It is painless, often has lobules/ nodules on its surface. Microscopically the lesional tissue contains cells with large, stellate shaped fibroblasts, near the surface of the fibrous mass, beneath the overlying epithelium. In this article we report a case of 30-year old female who presented with a growth in the palatal gingiva adjacent to the maxillary central incisors. The lesion was excised and sent for biopsy. Microscopically the section showed epithelium and connective tissue stroma with large stellate shaped giant fibroblast. Based on microscopic findings, the lesion was diagnosed as “giant cell fibroma
