Neumann’s Tumour/Congenital Granular Cell Tumour (CGCT)/Granular Cell Epulis Of Infancy is a rare lesion of newborn. It is benign in nature, arising from the alveolar ridge of the gingiva. It is seen more frequently in female neonates. It may cause respiratory and feeding problems.Herewith, we present a case report of CGCT arising from the upper gingival margin of female neonate, treated with s...

introduction: granular cell tumors (gcts) are rare and mostly benign soft tissue tumors. though they have been reported in all parts of body, they are generally located in the head and neck region, especially on the tongue. some malign forms exist, but these have been rarely reported. granular cell tumors have a neural origin and, in immunohistochemical evaluations, they express s-100 and neuro...

A full-term Caucasian girl with Apgar scores of 9/10 at 1 and 5 minutes and a birth weight of 3,500 g was born to a healthy 24-year-old mother following her second normal pregnancy. Physical examination after birth revealed a firm, broad-based, pedunculated, pinkishred tumor that measured 25 × 10 × 10 mm and was inserted into the maxillary alveolus to the left of the midline (Fig. 1). The infan...

Congenital granular cell tumor (GCT) is a relatively rare intraoral benign tumor, approximately 200 cases of which have been reported in the neonatal period worldwide. The newborn infant may have feeding problems and respiratory difficulties due to airway obstruction. This lesion may be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and simple resection is mostly required. We report a case of an adult t...

Granular cell tumor is a rare benign non-encapsulated tumor that mostly presents in oral cavity. Breast localization is uncommon and occurs in about one per 1000 cases of breast cancers. It mainly affects premenopausal women showing the possible role of estrogen and progesterone levels in the progression of this tumor. Granular cell tumor is a great emulator of the invasive ductal carcinoma of ...

Congenital epulis is an uncommon benign lesion that affects the oral cavity of newborns, and presents histological features which are similar to those of granular cell tumor. The origin of this lesion has not been fully elucidated, and many hypotheses are considered due to the large variety of cell types observed in histological sections. Epulis development occurs further in the prenatal period...
