Abstract
This is a case of congenital epulis in the mandible of a newborn baby girl. The tumor measured 24×18×17mm and was located in the anterior region of the alveolar ridge of the mandible. As a result, the child's ability to nurse was seriously impaired. The tumor was removed on the second day after birth. Following excision, the infant was able to nurse satisfactorily. As with a previously reported case, there has been no recurrence of the problem. The tumor was diagnosed histopathologically as a benign granular cell tumor.
