영문 초록

Congenital epulis (CE) is an extremely rare benign tumor of the gingiva that is found on the alveolar ridge of newborns, and the main treatment option is simple excision. Postoperative prognosis is very good, and spontaneous regression may occur despite incomplete excision. This report presented a rare case of CE and its healing process after surgery under local anesthesia. The treatment plan was decided upon through consultation between a medical team and the patient’s family, with surgical excision for the main lesion, which benefitted from surgery, and follow-up for a very small-sized lesion, which was thought to be appropriate for a newborn. No recurrence was found after its removal, and favorable healing was observed.
