Introduction: Epulis granulomatosa is a post-surgical lesion emanating from an extraction socket. It can be misdiagnosed with other lesions that have similar clinical appearances, such as foreign body and pyogenic granuloma. Excisional biopsy stands as its gold-standard treatment followed by histopathological analysis in order to establish the diagnosis Objective: The aim of the present study was to report an illustrative case of epulis granulomatosa occurring after tooth extraction in a pediatric patient. Case Report: A 5-year-old boy claiming about an exophytic lesion in the alveolar mucosa at the anterior region of the mandible was noticed after deciduous lower right central incisor tooth extraction. Diagnosis of granulomatous epulis was confirmed after histopathological examination performed through excisional biopsy. Conclusion: The patient’s recovery was uneventful, and no signs of local recurrence could be observed up to this date.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
