Congenital epulis: prenatal diagnosis by ultrasound.

We present a case of congenital epulis, diagnosed prenatally with US. Congenital epulis is a benign gingival tumour whose differential diagnosis includes other oral-facial masses such as haemangioma, granular cell myoblastoma and cystic hygroma. This tumour can cause obstruction of the airway or feeding problems in the newborn child.
