Abstract
- Herein, we detail a multidisciplinary approach and sequential treatment for two infants with congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE). Ultrasonic examinations at 34 weeks of gestation revealed prominent oral masses in both fetuses. To devise a carefully considered treatment strategy, a comprehensive multidisciplinary consultation including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, pediatricians, obstetricians, and anesthesiologists was convened. Following cesarean sections, the lesions were successfully removed, measuring approximately 30 × 15 mm and 30 × 20 mm in size, respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that vimentin was positive, S-100 protein was negative, and NSE protein and CD68 protein were negative. These findings underscore the importance of prenatal diagnosis of congenital granular cell epulis for the effective management of these rare benign conditions.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Han, Qiu, Zhang, Hua, Liu and Dong.)
