Congenital fibrous epulis associated with natal teeth

چکیده
Congenital fibrous epulis is a very rare benign gingival tumor in infants. Its exact etiology remains unknown. The past literature showed that there was no other abnormality around or in the tumors in their mouths. In our clinic we found seven cases of congenital fibrous epulis and all the cases had one or two natal teeth in the tumors. We described the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of the lesions, treatments and discussed whether congenital fibrous epulis was related to natal teeth. Natal teeth may be probed as a causative factor of congenital fibrous epulis.

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 hist...

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...

متن کاملPre and Post Natal Enamel Mineralization in Primary Teeth from Children with Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA)
Enamel mineralization is affected by genetic disorders like Down syndrome and familial dysautonomia (FD). Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA) is associated with decreased sensation and autonomic dysfunction, somehow similar to FD. In this study we examined the effect of CIPA on pre and post-natal enamel mineralization of 9 primary extracted teeth and matchpaired normal teeth...

Two hundred four cases of fibrous lesions of the gingiva were studied histologically for the presence of calcified tissue, the nature of the connective tissue, the type of keratinization, and the degree of epithelial thickness. Initially these lesions were subcategorized into four specific entities, namely fibrous epulis, fibroepithelial polyp, calcifying fibroblastic granuloma, and ossifying f...
