Congenital epulis occurs on the gum pads of infants, and is cited in the literature to be relatively rare. Since Neumann had made the first report of congenital epulis in 1871, about 140 cases have been reported throughout the world.A 10-day-old Japanese female infant had a 15mm×15mm×17mm epulis on the right anterior maxilla, and it decreased in size in three months without therapy. This clinical course is a highly unexpected phenomenon. This paper also reveals that the pathological findings of congenital epulises (whether epulis has granular cells or not) depend on the period of resection as evidenced in the concerned Japanese reports.
