BACKGROUND: Congenital epulis is a rare benign jaw tumor. It is a reactive or degenerative lesion having a mesenchymal origin; presenting as an obvious mass arising from the gingival mucosa of the maxilla or mandible, presenting in neonates. Its etiology, histopathogenesis and natural history are still not well established. It is seen usually in the female gender and mostly involves the maxillary alveolar ridge. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We report a case of a 2.7 kg male baby born with growth on his mandibular ridge which was excised and was proved to be epulis on histopathology. RESULTS: Congenital epulis is often misdiagnosed before surgery because of its rarity and a lack of awareness of the condition by clinicians. It is important for the attending pediatricians, pediatric surgeon to be aware of this rare but benign congenital tumor. CONCLUSIONS: Congenital epulis is often misdiagnosed before surgery because of its rarity and a lack of awareness of the condition by clinicians. As the clinical presentation of this congenital tumor can be distressing due to its size and aggressive appearance, it is important for the attending pediatricians, pediatric surgeon to be aware of this rare but benign congenital tumor.
