Résumé -Introduction : L'épulis est une pseudo-tumeur gingivale qui peut avoir des complications locorégionales voire générales. Ces complications s'observent en Afrique où les retards de diagnostic sont liés à des considérations ethno-sociales. Observation : Un cas d'épulis gingivale géante hémorragique, avec une anémie chronique, est décrit par les auteurs. Le traitement a consisté à la correction de l'anémie et l'exérèse de la tumeur sous anesthésie générale. Discussion : L'importance du volume tumoral associé aux saignements fréquents impose des transfusions sanguines itératives et l'exérèse des épulis sous anesthésie générale. Le pronostic est bon.
Abstract -Ulcerated giant epulis: a case. Introduction:An epulis is a gum pseudo-tumor with general or locoregional complications in the absence of early treatment. These complications are observed in Africa where late diagnoses are related to ethno-social factors. Observation: The authors describe a case of a bleeding giant gum epulis with chronic anemia. The treatment consisted of treating the anemia, and tumor excision under general anesthesia. Discussion: The extent of the tumor volume associated with frequent bleeding called for repeated blood transfusion and excision of the epulis under general anesthesia. The prognosis was good after treatment.
2002-2003. 75.8% of the lesions were located on the cheeks and lips. Discussion: Noma is an infectious disease found generally in weaned children with teeth. Inflammatory changes , unfavourable socioeconomicsocioeconomic conditions and malnutrition were contributing factors.
