Large congenital epulis of newborn

Abstract

Congenital epulis is a benign tumor with no potential for growth following birth. Because of the tumor's rarity, few clinical and laboratory studies have been done. A search of the medical literature published in English revealed that congenital epulis occurs most often in female infants; only seven cases have been reported in male infants. We report a case of congenital epulis in a male infant.
