Abstract
The congenital granular-cell epulis is an uncommon pedunculated tumor of the alveolar mucosa found only in newborn infants. This lesion can present an alarming appearance and interfere with efforts at nursing. The generally accepted treatment is excision through the pedicle, and recurrence is not to be anticipated. An example of a tumor fulfilling the clinical and histopathologic criteria of this lesion is reported.Entities:
