Congenital epulis: Report of a case

Congenital epulis of the new-born is a rare tumour, also known as Neumann's tumour described for the first time in 1871. Epulis usually present at birth and it has marked female preponderance of 10:1. Histiogenesis is uncertain, recommended treatment is excision. However as recurrence or damage to future dentition have not been reported, radical excision is not warranted. We reported a case of congenital epulis in a new-born female, with clinic investigations, surgical excision were not performed as it was not indicated for this case.
