Abstract
Abstract The congenital epulis is a rare lesion that occurs exclusively in newborns. It is presented as a gingival growth generally seen in maxillary alveolar ridge of female newborn, with the potential to interfere with respiration and feeding. Approximately 10% of the cases are multiple and spontaneous regression is rare. This report describes a case of a 3-days-old female newborn, who presented multiple congenital epulis. The largest lesion prevented the lips sealing and compromised the feeding. Under local anesthesia, the largest tumor was excised, whereas the smallest lesion presented complete spontaneous regression within one month of follow up. After 12 months, no signs of recurrence are observed.
