Area of Science:

Pediatric Dentistry
Oral Pathology
Neonatal Surgery

Background:

Congenital epulis, a rare benign oral tumor, can occur in newborns.
Maxillary alveolar margin tumors in neonates require prompt diagnosis and management.

Observation:

A newborn presented with a tumor on the right maxillary alveolar margin.
No other congenital anomalies were identified in the infant.

Findings:

Surgical excision of the tumor was performed.
Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of benign congenital granular cell epulis.

Implications:

Early detection and surgical intervention are crucial for managing neonatal oral tumors.
Complete excision typically leads to a favorable prognosis for benign congenital granular cell epulis.
