Pathological analysis of the epulis. Part 3. Epulis with hard tissue formation(peripheral ossifying/cementifying fibroma).

Peripheral ossifying fibroma/ossifying fibrous epulis.

This is a case report of a reactive lesion which occurs only in the gingiva. This lesion is of a long duration causing erosion of the superficial bone. Histologically it is similar to other epulides of the gingiva but in addition contains ossified tissue. The lesion's confusing terminology is being discussed in view of its understanding to an American-trained or a British-trained surgeon. A rev...

Congenital epulis.

Congenital epulis of the newborn is a rare gingival tumor that occurs along the alveolar ridge. We report the prenatal sonographic and postnatal MR imaging findings in an infant with maxillary and mandibular congenital epulides.

Congenital epulis.

Epulis is a rare tumor of the newborn, also known as granular cell tumor of the newborn or Neumann's tumor. This tumor arises from the mucosa of the gingiva, most commonly from the anterior part of the maxillary alveolar ridge, and is typically seen as a mass protruding out of the newborn child's mouth, which may interfere with respiration or feeding. Epulis is seen only in the newborn and is a...

Epulis in the Newborn.

Peripheral fibroma/fibrous epulis with and without calcifications. A clinical evaluation of 204 cases in Singapore.

Peripheral fibroma/fibrous epulis accounts for the great majority of localised gingival swellings as was substantiated by various reports in the literature. A study was undertaken to investigate the clinical features of a series of 204 localised fibrous gingival swellings received by the Histopathology Laboratory, Department of Oral Surgery, National University of Singapore. The female patients...
