Congenital granular cell epulis is a rare newborn tumor of the upper gum. Simple surgical excision is curative, with no reported recurrences for this benign lesion.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Pediatric surgery

Background:

  • Congenital granular cell epulis is a rare, benign pedunculated tumor arising from the alveolar mucosa in newborns.
  • While not typically associated with other congenital anomalies, it can cause significant aesthetic concerns and feeding difficulties.

Observation:

  • A case of a large, 7 cm diameter, double congenital granular cell epulis in a 2-day-old female infant is presented.
  • The lesion was located on the upper alveolar mucosa.

Findings:

  • Congenital granular cell epulis requires differentiation from granular cell myoblastoma.
  • Simple excision is the standard and effective treatment for this condition.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical management of congenital granular cell epulis are crucial for infant well-being and feeding.

  • The benign nature and high success rate of excision suggest a favorable prognosis.
