ABSTRACT Epulis is a benign inflammatory pseudo-tumor with relapse potential which is usually found on the gingival. The main contributing factors of its appearance are chronic inflammation and hormonal disturbances; that is why it commonly affects women in their genitally active period. Clinically, epulis presents as a nodule, bleeding at touch, sometimes pedunculate. The definite diagnosis should be done by histological examination. The only treatment is surgery. We report the case of a 53 years old rural Cameroonian woman who presented with giant epulis which was successfully treated during a of health outreach. RESUME L’epulis est une pseudo-tumeur inflammatoire benigne avec un potentiel de recidive. Elle se manifeste frequemment au niveau de la gencive, suite a une irritation permanente ou a des perturbations hormonales, justifiant sa predilection chez les femmes en activite genitale. Cliniquement elle apparait sous forme d’un nodule, saignant parfois au contact, pediculee ou non. Le diagnostic positif n’est confirme que par l’examen histologique. Le traitement est uniquement chirurgical. Nous rapportons le cas d’une camerounaise de 53 ans vivant en milieu rural, presentant une epulis geante, rencontree et traitee avec succes au cours d’une campagne de sante.
