Congenital epulis is a rare intraoral tumour of the newborn arising from gingival mucosa, most commonly from the alveolar ridge. It may interfere with normal feeding or potentially compromise respiration. We describe the anaesthetic management of one such case of a female infant born with a single epulis, approximately 3 cm in diameter, protruding from her mouth. The lesion was removed one day after delivery, under general anaesthesia using a laryngeal mask airway to control the infant's airway. The rationale for this management plan and alternatives to this strategy are discussed.
先天性牙龈瘤是一种罕见的新生儿口腔内肿瘤，起源于牙龈黏膜，最常见于牙槽嵴。它可能会干扰正常喂养或潜在地危及呼吸。我们描述了一例此类病例的麻醉处理，该女婴出生时患有单个牙龈瘤，直径约3厘米，从口腔突出。在分娩后一天，在全身麻醉下使用喉罩气道控制婴儿气道，切除了病变。讨论了该管理计划的基本原理和此策略的替代方案。
