Congenital granular cell tumour: An unusual antenatal presentation with a 12- year follow-up

Congenital epulis, also known as congenital granular-cell tumour (CGCT) is a rare benign entity that occurs in neonates. The size and prominent location of the lesion(s) in the oral cavity ensures early recognition. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive background of this rare lesion and discusses the presentation in a neonate diagnosed at 35 weeks on a routine ultrasound. Oral health practitioners should be aware that these lesions may cause dental developmental anomalies at the site where they occur.
