Abstract
IntroductionCongenital granular cell epulis is an uncommon tumor which is apparent at birth.Case presentationHere we report an unusual case of congenital granular cell epulis present in the mouth of a 4-day-old Asian Chinese female newborn. She had six round, soft, multiple, pedunculated swelling masses, of which two were on her upper anterior ridge and four on her lower anterior ridge. The size of the largest lesion was 3.5×3cm, which was causing difficulty in feeding.ConclusionsThe case of a patient with congenital granular cell epulis was reported here because of its rarity. The lesions were surgically removed and satisfactory results were achieved.

Summary
Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is an uncommon tumor seen only in the newborn. We report a new case of multiple CGCE occurring in a 4-dayold Chinese female newborn who presented with postnatal diagnosis of CGCE and we review the relevant literature. The aim of this case report is to discuss the clinical. Case presentation A 4-day-old Asian Chinese female newborn was admitted to our department because she presented with six round, soft, multiple, pedunculated swelling masses with two on her upper anterior ridge and four on her lower anterior ridge. All alveolar masses were excised surgically without complications under general anesthesia on the sixth day after the birth of. The diagnostic hypothesis of congenital epulis of the newborn was confirmed based on both the histological details and immunohistochemical profile of the masses
