Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Pediatric dentistry
  • Congenital anomalies

Background:

  • Epulides are benign growths originating from the gingiva.
  • Multiple epulides are exceptionally rare, especially in neonates.
  • Congenital epulis is a rare tumor of the newborn oral cavity.

Observation:

  • A two-day-old female infant presented with multiple epulides.
  • The lesions were observed on both the maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges.
  • This presentation is atypical, as epulides usually occur as solitary lesions.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the benign nature of the epulides.
  • Surgical excision was performed for the multiple lesions.
  • The case highlights a rare presentation of congenital epulis.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and management of congenital epulis are crucial.
  • This case expands the understanding of epulis presentation in neonates.
  • Further research into the etiology and management of multiple congenital epulis is warranted.
