Congenital epulis (CE) of the newborn also known as congenital granular cell tumor or Neumann tumor is an uncommun benign tumour occuring in the anterior alveolar ridge of the jaws. It may interfer with breathing and feeding. In our study, we discuss the clinicopathologic and evolutive caracteristics and the diagnosis problems of this entity.
A newborn girl, two months old, presented at birth a nodular mass in the upper alveolar crete of the maxilla. The mass measured 1.5 cm and exhibited a smooth surface. Histologically, it was composed of diffuse sheets and clusters of granular cells with abundant coarsely granular cytoplasm. The evolution was good without recurrence after five months.
CE is a rare tumor; its etiopathogenesis is still unclear. The diagnosis suspected clinically is confirmed by the histopathological study. The prognosis is exellent without recurrence.
新生儿先天性牙龈瘤（CE），也称为先天性颗粒细胞瘤或诺伊曼瘤，是一种发生于颌骨前牙槽嵴的罕见良性肿瘤。它可能会干扰呼吸和进食。在我们的研究中，我们讨论了该实体的临床病理和演变特征以及诊断问题。
一名两个月大的新生女婴，出生时上颌上牙槽嵴有一个结节状肿块。肿块大小为1.5厘米，表面光滑。组织学上，它由弥漫性的片状和颗粒细胞簇组成，细胞质丰富且粗糙呈颗粒状。病情发展良好，五个月后无复发。
先天性牙龈瘤是一种罕见肿瘤；其病因仍不清楚。临床怀疑的诊断通过组织病理学研究得以证实。预后良好，无复发。
