<p class="abstract">The congenital epulis of new-born is a rare disease of idiopathic etiology and lineage. The literature recorded spontaneous regression of some cases. This finding rendered skeptical questions about its neoplastic nature and posed some speculations about hormonal influences, towards the end of pregnancy, on the growth of the lesion. No malignant potential has been ever reported. Surgery is indicated if the lesion grossly interferes with breast feeding. This paper reports an established diagnosis of congenital epulis of new-born, which was excised surgically with no evidence of recurrence hitherto. </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Congenital epulis, Neonatal lesions, Mucosal swellings, Pediatric oncology</p>

A 3 day old girl presented with lobulated mass protruding from her mouth. The mass was clinically diagnosed as a congenital epulis. The child had no airway obstruction and was able to feed well. A conservative treatment was proposed with monthly follow up appointments to monitor the lesion. After 10 months the lesion completely regressed and the eruption of maxillary anterior teeth remained unaffected.
