Congenital granular-cell tumor of the gingiva.
Congenital granular cell tumors of the gingiva (synonyms: congenital myoblastoma, congenital epulis) originate from the alveolar ridge in newborns. They are rare granular-cell tumors with benign histology. The main differential diagnosis is epignathus (oral teratoma). Early surgical excision is recommended due to a risk of airway obstruction and difficulty feeding.

Cutaneous angiomyolipoma: report of two cases with emphasis on HMB-45 utility.
BACKGROUND: Angiomyolipomas are tumors composed of adipose tissue, blood vessels and smooth muscle. Although renal angiomyolipomas are well known, cutaneous tumors have been described only recently. HMB-45 reactivity, reported for renal angiomyolipomas, has been suggested as a useful tool in differential diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: Two cases of cutaneous angiomyolipoma are described and investigated for HMB-45 reactivity. METHODS: Conventional histochemical and immunohistochemical methods were used. RESULTS: Immunohistochemical analysis showed no reactivity for HMB-45 antibody. CONCLUSION: We conclude that, unlike renal angiomyolipomas, HMB-45 reactivity is not helpful in differentiating cutaneous angiomyolipomas.
