It is a rare condition, with fewer than 250 reported cases worldwide. The exact cause or underlying mechanism of this tumor is still not well understood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present a three-day-old male neonate who presented with a swelling on the gingiva that had been present since birth. The infant did not encounter any difficulties with feeding or breathing. The patient had a single, round, pink swelling measuring 2 \u00d7 2 \u00d7 1 cm on the right maxillary alveolar ridge. The swelling was surgically removed under general anesthesia. Microscopic examination revealed large polygonal cells with abundant granular cytoplasm, centrally located nuclei indicating a diagnosis of congenital epulis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical manifestation could vary from no symptoms to feeding difficulty and rarely airway obstruction. It usually tends to grow on anterior alveolar ridge of the newborns, more on the maxilla than on the mandible. Confirmation of the diagnosis is by histopathology, which commonly shows proliferation of polygonal round cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and round central nucleus. Congenital epulis can be approached using different management techniques depending on the size, site of the tumor, and presenting symptoms of the newborns.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Congenital epulis is rare, but it has to be considered as a differential diagnosis for gingival swelling among neonates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.110085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,27]],"date-time":"2024-07-27T12:23:22Z","timestamp":1722083002000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Congenital epulis of the newborn; A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"122","author":[{"given":"Kirubel Addisu","family":"Abera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomic Pathology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Maraki 196, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ermias Teklehaimanot","family":"Yefter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomic Pathology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Maraki 196, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kalkidan Asaye","family":"Alemayehu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomic Pathology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Maraki 196, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kassa Berie","family":"Zegeye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomic Pathology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Maraki 196, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanuel Kassa","family":"Tadesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomic Pathology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Maraki 196, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zelallem Aniley","family":"Workneh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of maxillofacial surgery, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Maraki 196, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"R1-50-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"833","DOI":"10.5005\/jp-journals-10005-2078","article-title":"Congenital epulis of the newborn: a case report and literature review","volume":"14","author":"Babu,","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
