Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Congenital anomalies

Background:

  • Congenital epulis (gingival granular cell tumor) is a rare, benign oral lesion in newborns.
  • It predominantly affects females and typically arises from the maxillary alveolar ridge.

Observation:

  • A case report details a five-day-old female infant presenting with a large mandibular gingival mass.
  • The lesion caused significant feeding difficulties in the neonate.

Findings:

  • The congenital epulis was successfully and completely excised surgically.
  • Post-operative recovery was uneventful, with no complications reported.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing congenital epulis, even when presenting atypically on the mandible.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention lead to favorable outcomes in affected infants.
