ABSTRACT
In a newborn boy, a tumour was seen on the tongue and mandibula. A diagnosis of congenital epulis was made. This usually pedunculated tumour is present at birth and located on the maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridge (more commonly on the maxilla), but rarely on the tongue. It varies greatly in size from just a few millimetres in diameter to several centimetres. Treatment is only necessary when feeding problems occur.
