Multiple congenital granular cell epulis in a female newborn: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Congenital granular cell epulis is an uncommon tumor which is apparent at birth. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report an unusual case of congenital granular cell epulis present in the mouth of a 4-day-old Asian Chinese female newborn. She had six round, soft, multiple, pedunculated swelling masses, of which two were on her upper anterior ridge and four on her lower anterior ridge. The size of the largest lesion was 3.5×3cm, which was causing difficulty in feeding. CONCLUSIONS The case of a patient with congenital granular cell epulis was reported here because of its rarity. The lesions were surgically removed and satisfactory results were achieved.

Congenital epulis is a very rare benign soft-tissue tumor of uncertain histogenesis, which is also known as “gingival granular cell tumor of the newborn”. It occurs almost exclusively as a single tumor along the alveolar ridge of the maxilla in newborn females. Although congenital epulis is strikingly similar to the more common adult granular cell tumor histologically, in contrast to the latter...

Congenital epulis of the newborn, also known as congenital granular cell tumour, or Neumann’s tumour, is a rare benign tumour. The neoplasm occurs more frequently in the alveolar ridge of the maxilla near the canine than in the mandibular alveolus and has rarely been reported on the tongue. This lesion occurs 10 times more frequently in female infants than male infants suggesting hormonal invol...

Congenital granular cell tumor (CGCT), or congenital epulis, is a very uncommon benign soft tissue lesion that usually arises from the alveolar mucosa of neonates and may cause respiratory and feeding problems. We report a case of a 3-day-old female newborn, who presented an intraoral tumor mass which was protruding from her mouth, and compromising feeding. Under general anesthesia, the lesion ...
