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 characterist...

Congenital epulis is a fairly rare soft tissue tumour occurring exclusively on the alveolar ridge of newborns. The exact origin of congenital epulis is still debatable. The objective of the study is to determine the clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical findings of congenital epulis. A retrospective study was carried out to determine the clinicopathological features of congenital...

Introduction: Epulis fissuratum is one of the important denture-related mucosal lesions that occurs around the borders of an ill-fitting denture. The purpose of this study was to analyze the cases of epulis fissuratum admitted in the department of oral medicine, Kerman Dental School in relation to the demographic, denture-related and clinical findings. Materials &Methods: Medical files of all p...

Congenital epulis is a benign soft‐tissue lesion of the alveolar mucosa. It may be sessile or pedunculated and vary in size from several millimetres to a few centimetres.[1,2] Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The most important aspect of pre‐anaesthetic evaluation is assessment for difficult airway. Literature on the anaesthetic management of neonates with congenital epulis is limi...

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. Th...

The congenital epulis is a benign congenital granular cell tumor arising most often of the alveolar ridge of the jawbone. When giant, it is source of digestive discomfort disabling feeding. We report the case of a newborn female, vaginal delivery, presented with a giant intraoral tumor. Tumor obstructing the mouth of the newborn and prevent the attachment and feeding. The treatment consisted of...

The epulis is a relatively frequent benign oral lesion that originates from the gingival and which has no degenerative potential. A 73-year-old-woman came to our attention for a mass, located in the oral cavity and more precisely in the right inferior maxillary alveolar ridge, that the patient firstly noticed 2 years earlier. Its dimensions increased over time and now were relevant. The mass wa...

Congenital Epulis, also known as Neumann's tumour, is a rare congenital growth affecting the gingival mucosa of neonates. It is benign condition, seen more frequently in females, with multiple Epuli occurring in only 10% of cases. The cause and origin of Congenital Epulis remains unclear. In this article we present a case report of an otherwise healthy female neonate with two Congenital Epuli a...

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...
