Summary

Congenital gingival granular cell tumours (CGCT) are rare benign oral masses in newborns. Early surgical intervention is crucial to prevent airway obstruction and feeding difficulties.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Developmental biology

Background:

  • Congenital gingival granular cell tumours (CGCT) are rare, benign intraoral neoplasms.
  • Also known as congenital epulis or Neumann's tumour, they arise from the alveolar ridge.
  • Typically present as a solitary mass protruding from a newborn's mouth.

Observation:

  • This report details a newborn presenting with a mass on the lower alveolar ridge obstructing the oral cavity.
  • Clinical presentation and potential origins (histiogenesis) of the tumour were examined.
  • Differential diagnosis includes epignathus (oral teratoma).

Findings:

  • CGCT are benign tumours with characteristic granular cell morphology.
  • The primary concern is the potential for airway compromise and feeding issues.

  • Early diagnosis and surgical management are essential.

    • Implications:

    • Prompt surgical excision is recommended for CGCT to ensure infant well-being.
    • Understanding the histiogenesis aids in accurate diagnosis and management.
    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare congenital oral masses.
