Pregnancy epulis is a tumor-like lesion that results from aggravating gingivitis due to high level of gonadal hormone concentration. Pregnancy epulis is commonly manifested as a single lump.

Results showed no remarkable changes in the lesion. However, all the epulides regressed spontaneously in five months after the parturition.
