  • Title: Congenital epulis: a surprise in the neonate.
    Author: McGuire TP, Gomes PP, Freilich MM, Sándor GK.
    Journal: J Can Dent Assoc; 2006 Oct; 72(8):747-50. PubMed ID: 17049111.
    Abstract:
    A newborn infant with congenital epulis can be a striking sight for both parents and health care professionals involved in neonatal care. These tumours of the infant mouth can be remarkably large, occupying much of the oral cavity and posing a risk of airway obstruction or interfering with feeding. Dentists should be able to recognize these swellings as they may be asked to consult and provide information to parents and other practitioners regarding treatment of these lesions.
