Granular Cell Epulis of a Newborn Male Child.

Congenital granular cell epulis is an uncommon benign tumor arising from alveolar ridges of the newborn sometimes interfering with mouth closure and feeding and when multiple the tumor may cause respiratory obstruction. It is mostly composed of nests of cells with granular cytoplasm set in a prominent vasculature. Here we report a case of CGCE observed in a newborn male due to its rare occurrence, with a brief review of literature pertaining to its histogenesis and differentiation from its adult counterpart.
