Abstract
Congenital epulis is a rare granular cell tumor that arises from the gingival mucosa. The cause of this lesion, first described by Neumann in 1871, remains unknown. Since that time, only case reports of the benign tumor have been published. The incidence is estimated at 0.0006%, of which 10% are multiple epuli. We describe a female infant with multiple large epuli arising from both alveolar ridges who was successfully treated surgically within the first 48h of life. We discuss considerations for airway management and describe her postoperative course.
