[Congenital epulis of the newborn (granulous Abrikosov tumor). Remarks apropos of a personal case].
The authors report a case of middle and superior gingival tumor in a newborn patient. Macroscopic and topographic aspects are a "congenital epulis". The surgical treatment is easy. Histologically finding shows a benign tumor with granulous cells called "Abrikossoff Tumor". The literature is reviewed to study histological aspect and pathogeny of this tumor. They try to distinguish the macroscopic aspect of the "congenital epulis" with the histologically finding. It is not systematically a granulous cells tumor.
