Congenital epulis, a kind of hamartoma, is a very rare tumor, which appears in front of maxillary alveolar ridge in most cases, and accompanies no malformations. As the tumor protrudes from the oral cavity, it may lead to respiratory difficulties and feeding problems. Therefore it is important for pregnant women to receive comprehensive prenatal counseling with accurate diagnosis of the fetal oral tumor. We report a rare case of prenatal detection of oral tumor with a brief review of literatures, which was confirmed to be a congenital epulis or granular cell tumor after birth. |
