Congenital granular cell tumor (CGCT) is a rare benign neoplastic growth of the anterior maxilla of neonates. The tissue origin of this lesion whether it is from neural or muscular; is still debatable although many immunohisto chemical markers studies have been documented. We present a case report of a female neonate with a large CGCT along with a brief review of literature.
