Congenital epulis is a rare tumor of the newborns.
Case Presentation
We found a case of soft elastic pedunculated masses in the left maxillary anterior (26 × 14 × 11 mm) and left mandibular anterior (55 × 44 × 11 mm) areas, protruding out of the oral cavity. The large multiple masses interfered with suckling. These masses were excised using a carbon dioxide laser under general anesthesia. They were diagnosed histopathologically and immunocamically as congenital granular cell epulis. These were no complication after surgery.
Conclusion
We report a 1‐day old female infant with large congenital epulis in the left anterior deciduous tooth regions of the upper and lower jaws, accompanying impaired suckling. The histopathological finding of masses was congenital granular cell epulis. |
