Congenital Epulides—Spontaneous Regression

A healthy 2-month-old girl was referred to a pediatric dental clinic for evaluation of 2 intra-oral masses, present since birth. One mass was localized on the maxillary alveolar process, the other on the mandible (Figure 1). Both had sessile bases and were firm on palpation. Neither of the masses was mobile, and manipulation did not appear to cause pain or discomfort. Mouth closure was normal. The parents reported that the lesions had not changed in size since birth. It was determined that these masses posed no immediate aspiration risk and there was no interference with breathing or feeding.
