Congenital fibrous epulis: a case report.

Intra-oral examination showed a soft fluctant non-haemorrhagic lesion at the left central incisor region of the maxilla arising from the crest of the alveolus (Fig. I). It was a pedunculated, well circumscribed bean-shaped mass of soft tissue measuring approximately 1.5 x 1.0 x 1.5 cm. The clinical diagnosis was congenital epulis. The lesion was excised a week later and the tissue sent for histological examination.
