Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Congenital epulis is a rare, benign gingival tumor presenting at birth.
  • These tumors typically arise from the alveolar ridge of the maxilla or mandible.
  • While rare, accurate prenatal and postnatal diagnosis is crucial for management.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of congenital epulis in a newborn.
  • Prenatal sonographic imaging revealed the presence of the tumor.
  • Postnatal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provided detailed anatomical information.

Findings:

  • The infant presented with congenital epulis affecting both the maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges.
  • Prenatal ultrasound successfully identified the gingival mass.
  • Postnatal MR imaging confirmed the extent and location of the epulides.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the utility of prenatal ultrasound in detecting congenital epulis.
  • Postnatal MR imaging is valuable for surgical planning and understanding the full extent of the tumor.
  • Early diagnosis and imaging are crucial for managing congenital epulis in newborns.
