Congenital gingival granular cell tumours (CGCT) are rare and always benign intraoral tumours originating from the alveolar ridge. They are also known as congenital epulis, congenital myoblastoma or Neumann's tumour. They are typically seen as a mass protruding out of a newborn child's mouth. In general, CGCT occurs as a solitary tumour. The main differential diagnosis is epignathus (oral teratoma). This report describes a newborn with a mass originating from lower alveolar ridge obtruding into the oral cavity. Clinical features, histiogenesis and necessity for early surgical treatment due to risk of airway obstruction and difficulty in feeding were discussed.
先天性牙龈颗粒细胞瘤（CGCT）是一种罕见的、源自牙槽嵴的良性口腔内肿瘤。它们也被称为先天性龈瘤、先天性成肌细胞瘤或诺伊曼氏肿瘤。通常表现为从新生儿口腔中突出的肿块。一般来说，CGCT表现为单个肿瘤。主要鉴别诊断为经口畸胎瘤。本报告描述了一名新生儿，其下牙槽嵴有一肿块突入口腔。讨论了其临床特征、组织发生以及由于气道阻塞风险和喂养困难而进行早期手术治疗的必要性。
