Congenital granular cell lesion of the newborn, also known as congenital epulis, is a rare benign oral cavity tumor presenting at birth. Usually, it appears as a solitary mass arising in the mouth and originates from the anterior alveolar ridge. The objective of the present article is to report a case of congenital granular cell lesion in an 8-day-old female newborn. The patient presented four intraoral pedunculated lesions. Diagnosis, treatment, microscopic and immunohistochemical characteristics are also discussed.

Sporadic Late-Onset Nemaline Rod Myopathy: An Interesting Case.
Neurol India

Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Sporadic late-onset nemaline rod myopathy is a rare, acquired, sub-acute, adult-onset myopathy characterized by proximal muscle weakness and nemaline rods in the myofibers. In contrast to its congenital form, the prevalence in adult population is comparatively rare. Herein, we report a case of 60-year-old male who presented with insidious onset proximal muscle weakness with myopathic pattern on electromyography.

Study Question: What are the roles of maternal preconception diabetes and related periconceptional hyperglycemia on the risk of major congenital malformations (MCMs) in offspring?
Summary Answer: Maternal periconceptional glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels over 5.6% were associated with an increased risk of congenital heart defects (CHD) in the offspring, and maternal preconception diabetes was associated with an increased risk of CHD, including when HbA1c levels were within euglycemic ranges.
What Is Known Already: Maternal preconception diabetes has been linked with MCMs in the offspring.
Novel linkage of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database and hospital electronic health records.

Article Synopsis
- The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database is a major global resource on congenital heart surgeries, but lacks data on complications, comorbidities, and long-term patient outcomes.
- This study assessed how effectively this database could be linked to hospital electronic health records in North Carolina and Georgia, using both indirect and direct identifiers.
- Results showed that indirect linkage matched 79% of admissions, while direct methods achieved up to 99.5% success, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating surgical data with electronic records for better patient care insights.
Maternal implications of fetal anomalies: a population-based cross-sectional study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different types of fetal anomalies impact maternal health outcomes, particularly severe maternal morbidity (SMM), using U.S. birth data from 2011 to 2020.
- Findings show that most fetal anomalies increase the risk of SMM during pregnancy, with higher risks associated with conditions like cleft lip, spina bifida, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
- The analysis included over 35 million pregnancies and found that while most anomalies raised the risk of maternal complications, gastroschisis and limb anomalies did not significantly affect SMM outcomes.

Introduction: Congenital epulis, also known as Neumann's tumor, is an uncommon benign tumor of the oral mucosa that occurs in newborns. It is a rare condition, with fewer than 250 reported cases worldwide. The exact cause or underlying mechanism of this tumor is still not well understood.
