BACKGROUND Epulis is a benign tumour located in the area of the alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and marginal gingiva. A clinical case of Epulis, treated using an Er,Cr:YSGG laser in our Paediatric Dentistry division of the PTV Hospital, University of Rome Tor Vergata, is described. CASE REPORT A pink, sessile, broad-based lesion, elastic in consistency, was detected on the maxillary vesti...

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.

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...

the congenital gingival granular cell tumor (cgct), also as known as congenital epulis, is an unusual benign oral mucosal lesion in newborns. a two-day-old female patient was admitted to the department of pediatric dentistry at gulhane medical academy, ankara, turkey with her family, and an intraoral examination showed a cgct located in the buccal region of the maxillary right first primary mol...

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...

The aim of this study was to present a case report of the surgical removal of hyperplasia in the oral cavity, using carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser radiation and rehabilitation with a complete denture. Epulis fissuratum occurs in complete denture patients, because a constant irritative action induces the mucosa to grow under poorly fitting dentures. These lesions must be removed, and to avoid a re...

Background: Fibrous hyperplasia or epulis fissuratum is a name related to reactive tissue response chronic irritation and trauma caused by dentures that are not properly attached. Persistent the oral mucosa can cause carcinoma. The treatment management of becomes very challenging for geriatric patients.
 Objective: To discuss fibrous in patients with history hypertensive disease.
