Congenital granular cell lesion, or congenital epulis, is a rare lesion of the newborn. The sight of a newborn infant with congenital epulis can be startling for both parents and healthcare professionals. The lesion appears most commonly in the maxillary alveolar ridge, with predominance in females. The etiology and histogenesis of the lesion remain obscure. This lesion can pose a risk of airway obstruction or can interfere with feeding. The report presented here describes a case of congenital granular cell lesion in the left maxillary region. The lesion was causing a feeding problem and, hence, was excised under local anesthesia.
