Children may be born with birth defects, the most common being oro-facial clefts and fissural cysts. A well circumscribed pedunculated soft tissue growth that occurs congenitally is known as congenital epulis of the newborn or 'Neuman's Tumour' as described in the literature. It is a rare lesion and the diagnosis has to be confirmed histologically. We present a rare case of a 7-year-old child w...

Congenital epulis (CE) or "Granular cell epulis" also previously termed as "Neumann's tumor" is a benign growth arising from the mucosa of the gingiva, typically seen as a mass protruding from the infant's mouth, often interfering with respiration and feeding. These tumors generally present as a single mass arising from the upper alveolus. We report a rare case of two congenital epulides arisin...

The epulis or giant cell granuloma is a benign tumor of the connective tissue of the gingival mucosa frequent in an advanced period of life but much more rare in its congenital form. We present the case of a female newborn, otherwise healthy, presenting with a giant swelling protruding from her mouth and originating from upper left alveolar ridge. The size of the mass has created great anxiety ...

Congenital epulis of newborn is very rare benign intraoral entity of uncertain ethiology. Histologically the lesion is similar to the granular cell tumour of an adult but immunohistochemical stainings prove their different origin. Treatment involves surgical excision, recurrences are rare.
