Congenital gingival granular cell tumours are rare lesions which have only occasionally been reported in the UK. Clinical features are of a benign lesion which occurs almost exclusively in newborn, Caucasian females and the anterior maxilla is the commonest site. Treatment consists of local excision and is curative. The terminology concerning this condition has been rather confused because of uncertainty regarding the histogenesis of these tumours and the similar histological appearance to adults granular cell myoblastoma occurring at other intraoral sites. The exact histogenesis of these tumours remains unsolved and they may be hamartomata. We describe a new case occurring within the UK, which illustrates many of the common clinical features of the condition, with an accompanying literature review.
先天性牙龈颗粒细胞瘤是一种罕见的病变，在英国仅有偶尔的报道。临床特征为良性病变，几乎仅发生于新生儿、白种女性，最常见的部位是上颌前部。治疗方法为局部切除，可治愈。由于这些肿瘤的组织发生存在不确定性，且其组织学表现与发生于口腔其他部位的成人颗粒细胞成肌细胞瘤相似，因此关于这种疾病的术语一直相当混乱。这些肿瘤的确切组织发生仍未解决，它们可能是错构瘤。我们描述了在英国发生的一例新病例，该病例说明了这种疾病的许多常见临床特征，并伴有文献综述。
