Congenital epulis of the newborn is a rare gingival tumor. This report details prenatal ultrasound and postnatal MRI findings in an infant diagnosed with this condition.

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.
