“…The origin of congenital GCT is still controversial. Most congenital GCTs have been shown to be S-100 and NSE negative, and considered not to be of Schwann-cell origin 2,4,[8][9][10] . However, in our case the tumor stain was positive for S-100 but negative for NSE.…”

“…With recent progress in technology of prenatal ultrasound, several reports have appeared regarding prenatal diagnosis of congenital epulis [2][3][4][5][6][7] . The natural history of congenital epulis remains unknown, but it is thought that the tumor increases in size during late gestation and therefore might be difficult to detect in early gestation.…”

“…Of 200 cases that have been reported, several cases were diagnosed prenatally [2][3][4][5][6][7] although most cases of congenital epulis are discovered at birth. The tumor usually has a smooth surface, is pedunculated and arises from the alveolar mucosa, predominantly in the maxilla.…”

“…Prenatal diagnosis is important to prevent airway impairment. 8 Definitive diagnosis requires tissue sampling for histologic analysis. Histologically, congenital epulis consists of large cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm within a network of vascular channels and dense fibrous connective tissue.…”

Background: Congenital epulis (CE) also known as congenital granuler cell tumor is a rarely encountered pathology the majority of which originates from the gingival mucosa, particularly the anterior portion of the maxillary alveolar ridge. CE mostly seen in girls. CE with unclear histogenesis and etiology is seen at birth as a solitary mass in oral cavity. Apart from non-congenital epulis, it contains granular cells. So lesion is named congenital granular cell tumor. CE has a benign histopathology and after surgery there is no recurrence reported in the literature. Aim: The purpose of this case report, is to present, 5 day-old female neonatal girl who was seen CE on the left maxillary alveolar ridge on the region of the future incisors. Case Presentation: The tumoral lesion was well-circumscribed and 10 mm in diameter, smooth surfaced and red in colour much like alveolar mucosal tissue. Tumoral lesion was affecting oral feeding due to obstruction. Excisional biopsy was performed under topical anesthesia. The histopathology was reported as congenital epulis. During the 4 months follow-up, we have seen no complication. Conclusion: CE is a neonatal congenital tumor which is very rare. The treatment of CE is surgical excision. Unless the early treatment is not executed, tumor may cause difficulties in oral feeding and respiration. Therefore it should be excised in an early period.
