Giant cell fibroblastoma (GCF) is an unusual tumor of childhood, primarily occurring in the superficial soft tissues. It is often presented in early childhood as a slowly growing, infiltrative subcutaneous mass at a wide variety of sites. Aim: To present such an interesting rare case of pediatric chest wall lesion. Case Report: A 4-year-old male patient was admitted to the pediatric surgery unit with complaints of a slow-growing, painless, palpable, firm swelling in the left chest wall below the left breast. All initial assessments were done, surgery was considered. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry revealed the distinctive images of GCF. Conclusion: Although the GCF is a rare chest wall tumor in the pediatric age group, it must be considered in differential diagnosis. The histopathology approached has more precise and distinctive images for decision-making regarding the surgery.
