A rare double congenital epulis, a tumor on the alveolar mucosa of the maxilla and mandible, was documented. This report details its clinical presentation, histology, cause, and management.

Area of Science:

Oral pathology
Pediatric dentistry
Congenital anomalies

Background:

Congenital epulis is a rare benign tumor of the oral cavity, typically occurring as a solitary lesion.
These tumors most commonly present on the anterior alveolar ridge of the maxilla in newborns.

Observation:

This case presents a unique instance of a double congenital epulis affecting both the maxillary and mandibular alveolar mucosa.
The lesion exhibited distinct clinical characteristics requiring careful examination.

Findings:

Histological examination revealed features consistent with congenital epulis, differentiating it from other neonatal oral masses.
The etiology of this double presentation remains a subject for further investigation.

Implications:
