Congenital Granular Cell Epulis

Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare benign soft tissue lesion that usually originates from the neonatal gingiva and can lead to difficulty in breathing and feeding upon birth. This current case report describes a female newborn with a gingival mass that was identified by prenatal fetal ultrasonography. At birth, the oral mass was observed to protrude from the mouth, which adversely affected feeding. The lips could not be closed. The breathing was unaffected. Through a multidisciplinary team approach involving several healthcare professionals, the mass was successfully removed under general anaesthesia during an uncomplicated surgical procedure. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed that the mass was a CGCE of the newborn. The infant recovered well after the operation.

Congenital Granular Cell Epulis

Abstract Background A congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare benign lesion of uncertain histologic origin that is found on the mucosa of the alveolar ridges of newborn babies. There have been less than 250 reported cases of CGCE. They are most commonly found in the anterior maxilla region in female infants. Case Report An 8-week-old female was referred from the Neonatal team with a 10mmX5mm lesion found at birth on the mucosa of the anterior maxilla. She was seen in the Oral and Maxillofacial Department where her parents reported that the lesion was causing discomfort when feeding and they were keen for its removal. On initial medical examination the patient was diagnosed with a Grade 1 ejection systolic murmur and was awaiting further cardiac investigations. With this in mind and the young age of the patient, it was decided an excisional biopsy of the lesion under local anaesthesia (LA) would be the safest option. The lesion was excised uneventfully when the patient was 9 weeks old. It was shown to be a congenital granular cell epulis following histopathological analysis. The patient was reviewed 8 weeks post-operatively. There were no signs of recurrence, the infant’s feeding had improved drastically, and she was thriving. Discussion CGCE is a rare and interesting lesion in neonates. Early diagnosis and treatment of CGCE is essential in facilitating infant feeding. This report highlights that a well-planned surgical excision under LA is a well-tolerated and safer option which is welcomed by parents.

Introduction: Congenital granular cell epulis is a rare and benign lesion in newborn. There are some papers of the entity; however, there are very few reports focusing on its macroscopic view. Case Presentation: A 0-day-old boy was noted to have a mass consisting of multiple nodules on maxillary gingiva, and it was excised. The mass was measured about 2 cm in its greatest diameter. Surface of cross-section was characteristically whitish-yellow and very smooth. Histopathologically, the lesion was composed of a proliferation of large polygonal cells with demarcated cell membrane, granular cytoplasm, and small uniform nuclei. Immunohistochemically, these cells were negative for S100. The diagnosis was concluded as congenital granular cell epulis. Discussion and Conclusion: We reported a typical case of congenital granular cell epulis. It is noteworthy that the cross-section observed in this case was very characteristically whitish-yellow and smooth.

Microscopic Findings

Congenital granular cell epulis is a congenital growth rarely found on the gingiva of neonates. These remarkably large tumours present in an infant’s mouth may impede with feeding, respiration or adequate mouth closure. Recognition of this entity and prompt treatment are essential for preventing any difficulties for the neonate. This is a case report of a 35-day-old female neonate who presented with a single exophytic lesion in the maxillary alveolar ridge. The differential diagnosis, management regimens and complications of this condition are reviewed. The lesion was excised under intravenous sedation and subjected to histopathological analysis. Based on the microscopic findings, the diagnosis of congenital granular cell epulis was confirmed. Clinicians including paediatricians, sonographers, dentists and surgical pathologists should be able to timely recognise and intervene such tumours as they may be potentially harmful to the infant.
