Congenital granular cell epulis is an uncommon pedunculated tumor of the upper alveolar mucosa found only in newborns. The lesion is not usually associated with other congenital deformities, but presents a major esthetic problem and interferes with nursing. We present a case of a double epulis, 7 cm in diameter, in a 2-day-old girl. Treatment is simple excision, and no recurrences have been reported. The lesion must be differentiated from granular cell myoblastoma.
