ABSTRACT
Congenital epulis or congenital gingival cell tumour is a rare tumour in the neonate. It arises from the gingival mucosa. This benign condition can be life threatening when obstructive. In this report, a case of a male neonate, with features of obstructive congenital epulis arising from both maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridge, interfering with breast-feeding is described. Diagnosis was suspected clinically and confirmed by histology. Outcome was good after prompt surgery.
