Abstract
Congenital granular cell tumors are infrequently occurring masses occurring on a neonate's gingiva/alveolus. These lesions are benign with no noted malignant transformation; treatment like excision is based on its effect on the neonate's respiratory ability and/or nutritional intake. Granular cell tumor of the newborn has different immunohistochemical features than the adult form of this lesion. We present a case of a rare granular cell tumor in a newborn, its treatment and review of the literature, including demographics, histopathology, and operative treatment.
