A one month-old girl was referred to our department due a neoformation of the mandible. The excisional biopsy of the lesion revealed a congenital epulides of the newborn. This is an uncommon lesion, easy to diagnose, as it has a typical appearance and localisation. Surgical treatment is the option, namely when it impairs feeding, swallowing or breathing.

Keywords : congenital epulides of the newborn; benign.
