Abstract
Congenital epulis (CE), also known as congenital granular cell tumor (CGCT), is a rare benign tumor of newborns. We report a case of 36-year-old pregnant woman with a fetus who had a 16x11x12 mm congenital solid mass in anterior oral cavity. Physicians should pay special attention to the third trimester ultrasonography and examination of the face and oral cavity. In case of a suspicion of a lesion similar to CE, pregnant females should be referred to a multidisciplinary center for the delivery and management after delivery.
