Giant Cell Angiofibroma: A Rare Tumour in the Oral Cavity

Giant Cell Angiofibroma: A Rare Tumour in the Oral Cavity

Giant cell angiofibroma (GCA) was first described as a distinctive orbital soft-tissue tumour. It is now recognised that this rare tumour can present in other anatomical regions including the oral cavity. Here, we report a case of a 26-year-old male with a primary complaint of a painless solitary swelling on the right buccal mucosa. The lesion was surgically excised and a diagnosis of GCA was made based on light microscopy and immunohistochemical (IHC) studies. At present, local excision with long-term follow-up seems to be the most appropriate management modality. To the best of our knowledge, only four cases of GCA arising in the oral cavity were reported in the literature.
