Abstract
Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare disease, particularly when it affects multiple oral and maxillofacial regions. We present the case of a female neonate with 4 asymptomatic masses attached to the maxillary and mandibular gingiva as well as the tongue. Due to the size of the masses causing feeding and respiratory difficulties, lesion removal was performed under general anesthesia. Histopathological analysis revealed tightly arranged polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, the cells were negative for Smur100 (S-100), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), cluster of differentiation (CD) 68, and Sry-related HMG box (SOX)-10, and positive for alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) and vimentin. The diagnosis of multiple CGCEs was established through clinical examinations, histomorphometrical, and immunohistochemical analyses. In conclusion, CGCE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intraoral lesions in neonates.

Abstract
Childhood diseases are a continuous source of interest in all areas of general and dental medicine. Congenital, developmental, and hereditary diseases may either be present upon birth or appear in early childhood. Developmental anomalies, although often asymptomatic, may become grounds for different infections. Furthermore, they can indicate certain systemic disorders. Childhood age frequently brings about benign tumors and different types of traumatic lesions to the oral mucosa. Traumatic lesions can be caused by chemical, mechanical, or thermal injury. Mucocele and ranula are, by definition, traumatic injuries of the salivary glands or their ducts. Recurrent aphthous lesions are the most common type of ulcerations in childhood, and their etiology is considered multifactorial. Oral mucosal lesions in children require different treatment approaches depending on etiological factors and clinical presentation. Clinicians should have adequate knowledge of oral anatomy in order to diagnose and treat pathological conditions.

Abstract
Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare tumor of gingiva that is exclusive to newborns, has marked female predominance, and is rarely associated with other abnormalities. Although benign in behavior, CGCE can be lethal by obstruction of respiration and/or deglutition and can require a multidisciplinary team of specialist at birth for survival of an otherwise normal infant. Histologically, CGCE resembles granular cell tumor (GCT), but unlike GCT, which is Schwannian-derived, derivation of CGCE remains an enigma, largely because of its low prevalence. This study presents 24 new cases of CGCE, the largest series since the original description 150 years ago and permits detailed study of homogeneity of cases diagnosed as CGCE as well as detailed comparisons of CGCE with GCT by clinical, morphological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural studies. The data show homogeneity within the CGCE cases, more differences than similarities between CGCE and GCT, and no immunohistochemical staining for common placental proteins/hormones in CGCE. The findings support a primitive mesenchymal cell origin, and a progressive degenerative process in CGCE, rather than neoplasia. Prenatal detection of this lesion is important to facilitate adequate preparations for support of these infants during labor and delivery.

Abstract
Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare benign soft tissue lesion that usually originates from the neonatal gingiva and can lead to difficulty in breathing and feeding upon birth. This current case report describes a female newborn with a gingival mass that was identified by prenatal fetal ultrasonography. At birth, the oral mass was observed to protrude from the mouth, which adversely affected feeding. The lips could not be closed. The breathing was unaffected. Through a multidisciplinary team approach involving several healthcare professionals, the mass was successfully removed under general anaesthesia during an uncomplicated surgical procedure. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed that the mass was a CGCE of the newborn. The infant recovered well after the operation.

Abstract
Congenital granular cell epulis is a rare benign lesion usually arising as single mass from the alveolar ridge of maxillary bone of female newborns, composed of polygonal granular cells that typically stain negative for S-100, in contrast to the adult counterpart. Larger lesions can disturb breathing and breast-feeding, requiring surgery. Prenatal diagnosis is achieved in few cases, even if this would be important for best management of delivery and therapy. Here we present a case of multiple CGCE in a female newborn discovered at birth, together with a brief review of pathogenesis, differential diagnoses and treatment implications of early diagnosis.

Abstract
Congenital granular cell tumour (CGCT) is a benign lesion that predominantly arises from the alveolar ridges of neonates, especially the maxilla. However, it's only 10 percent of multiple lesions in all reported cases, in which simultaneously mandibular and maxillary involvements are more extremely rare. For treatments of multiple CGCTs, few standard procedures were reported. In addition to surgical excision, which refers to a preferred method, conservative treatment is an available choice. Here, a case of multiple CGCTs using different therapeutic strategies was reported because of its rarity and innovation. A five-day-old female newborn presented two congenital masses attached to the right mandibular and maxillary alveolar ridge. The size of the mandibular lesion causing difficulty in feeding was 3 cm in diameter and 0.5 cm in the maxilla. Based on different manifestations, surgical excision and conservative treatment were adopted respectively. The mandibular mass was excised while that in the maxilla underwent spontaneous regression. Satisfactory results were achieved for this patient. There was no evidence of recurrence after a 6-month follow-up. Microscopic examination and immunohistochemistry analysis confirmed the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of CGCT and even proposed the possibility of histogenesis from neural crest. Moreover, we reviewed the literature and summarized the characteristics to provide new ideas for the treatment of multiple CGCTs.

Abstract
We present a case of a female neonate with a cluster of six skin colored to yellowish pseudovesicular papules on her right forearm present since birth, initially thought to be a herpes simplex virus infection. Punch biopsy with immunostaining revealed a diagnosis of S100-negative, CD163-positive congenital cutaneous non-neural granular cell tumor. Only four other reports are presented in the literature of this entity, three of which also presented on the arm with somewhat similar clinical findings. We briefly reviewed the subtypes of classic and S100-negative non-neural granular cell tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterise the role of VEGF, EG-VEGF and its receptors in the development and progression of HNC. DESIGN Human serum and tissues samples were collected from healthy, epulis and HNC patients and used for ELISA assays and immunohistochemistry studies, respectively. SETTING Ibn Rochd Hospital of Casablanca (Morocco), INSERM and University of Grenoble Alpes (France). PARTICIPANTS We used serum from 64 patients with head and neck cancers and from 71 controls without general pathology. Tissues samples were collected from seven patients with OSCC and from seven patients with Epulis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We compared circulating VEGF and EG-VEGF in normal and HNC patients and determined the expression, localisation and quantification of VEGF, EG-VEGF and its receptors; PROKR1 and PROKR2 as well as Ki67, CD31 and CD34 in OSCC and Epulis patients. RESULTS Both EG-VEGF and VEGF circulating levels were significantly decreased in the HNC (P < .01). OSCC patients expressed less EG-VEGF and VEGF proteins, higher PROKR1 and PROKR2 with no change in CD31 and CD34 levels. A significant increase in Ki67 was observed in OSCC. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that circulating VEGF and EG-VEGF are downregulated in HNC patients and in OSCC tissue. EG-VEGF receptors were increased in OSCC, along with a stabilisation of two key markers of angiogenesis. These findings strongly suggest that downregulation of angiogenesis in HNC might explain its moderate metastatic feature.

Abstract
Introduction: Endobronchial granular cell tumors are uncommon in the pediatric population. Case report: A 9-year-old female presented with respiratory failure due to an endobronchial tumor. After debulking and diagnosis, she underwent thoracotomy with right upper lobe resection and bronchoplasty. Pathology demonstrated an endobronchial S-100 negative granular cell tumor, which to our knowledge, is the first such report in the literature. Conclusion: Endobronchial granular cell tumors may cause obstructive respiratory failure, are amenable to surgery, and may be S-100 negative.

Abstract
Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is an uncommon lesion of unclear pathogenesis. It occurs predominantly in female newborns with a predilection site of the maxillary alveolar ridge. The mass enlarges prenatally but the growth arrests after birth. Histologically, CGCE is characterized by a proliferation of polygonal cells with eosinophilic, granular cytoplasm and eccentric, bland-appearing nuclei. It closely resembles adult granular cell tumor (GCT) microscopically and S-100 immunostain is often helpful in distinguishing the two (S-100-positive in GCT and S-100-negative in CGCE). Clinically, the lesion should also be distinguished from entities such as infantile myofibroma, rhabdomyoma, melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy, peripheral odontogenic fibroma, and neurofibroma. CGCE demonstrates an excellent prognosis and has not been associated with any syndromes/genetic defects or malignant transformation. Clinicians and pathologists should be familiar with this rare entity and its differential diagnosis for accurate diagnosis and management.

Diode Laser-Assisted Surgical Therapy for Early Treatment of Oral Mucocele in a Newborn Patient: Case Report and Procedures Checklist. Case Rep Dent 2018; 2018:3048429. [PMID: 29854481 PMCID: PMC5941754 DOI: 10.1155/2018/3048429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2017] [Revised: 02/28/2018] [Accepted: 03/07/2018] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Mucocele (also known as ranula or salivary gland mucous cyst) of the newborn is a lesion present on the intraoral cavity, with the potential to interfere with respiration and feeding. In the present report, a case of mucocele in a 4-month female patient has been described. As conventional surgery can be followed by several complications such as intraoperative bleeding, difficulties in wound healing, and maintenance of sterility during surgery, in the present case, the use of diode laser has been planned. A topic anesthesia with lidocaine gel was performed. A diode laser (810 nm wavelength, continuous wave mode, power output of 3 watt, and 0.4 mm diameter fiber optic) was set for excising the lesion. The tip was directed at an angle of 10 to 15°, moving around the base of the lesion with a circular motion. The procedure was completed in 3 minutes. The patient was visited with a follow-up of 2 weeks and 4 months after excision. The intraoral wound healed without complications, and no signs of infection or mass recurrence were noted. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of mucocele. On the basis of the results of the present case report, the use of diode laser can be easily performed also in a noncompliant newborn patient for successful excision of mucocele lesions, and checklist of clinical procedures has been described.

Abstract
This overview of mesenchymal tumors presenting in the skin and/or subcutis in children brings together the range of neoplasms and hamartomas which are seen in this age-group. It is not surprising from the perspective of the pediatric or general surgical pathologist that vascular anomalies, including true neoplasms and vascular malformations, are the common phenotypic category. Since there is considerable morphologic overlap among these lesions, clinicopathologic correlation may be more important than for many of the other mesenchymal tumors. The skin and subcutis are the most common sites of clinical presentation for the infantile myofibroma which is the most common of fibrous mesenchymal tumors in children. Several of the other mesenchymal tumors are more common adults-like dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, but nonetheless have an important presence in children, even as a congenital neoplasm. A lipomatous tumor in a young child should be considered as a possible manifestation of an overgrowth syndrome.

Abstract
Congenital granular cell tumors are uncommon benign tumors of newborns that mainly affect oral mucosa, especially the maxillary alveolar ridge. They are predominantly seen in female newborns, and cutaneous involvement is extremely rare. In this report, we present a case of congenital granular cell tumor on the arm of one of the male monozygotic twins and discuss the differential diagnosis of granular cell phenotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Granular cell tumor (GCT) is an unusual lesion thought to originate from Schwann cells. Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare fibroma-like lesion arising from the alveolar ridge in newborns. These entities have been described as distinct entities. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of children with a histopathologic diagnosis of GCT or CGCE from 1991-2014. Data were recorded and analyzed. All values reported as the mean±standard deviation. RESULTS GCT or CGCE was identified in 41 patients with a mean age of 7.8±6.1years. Thirty-one patients had GCT, and 10 had CGCE. All patients underwent excisional biopsy, except 1 who underwent incisional biopsy only. Fifteen patients had positive margins after excision (12 GCT and 3 CGCE). Only 1 had a local recurrence, and this same patient had multifocal GCT. Only 1 patient had an invasive lesion without recurrence after wide local excision. All patients survived, with a median follow-up of 42.5months (0.2-204.2months). CONCLUSION In children, both GCT and CGCE exhibit benign behavior, and complete excision does not appear to be mandatory, as recurrence or invasive disease is rare. When invasive features are present, wide local excision should be undertaken.

Abstract
Background Granular cell tumor is a benign tumor originating from Schwann cells. Children and adolescents are rarely affected. We report a 9-year-old female who presented with a cutaneous granular cell tumor on the chest. Objective To determine the incidence of granular cell tumor and proportion of tumors seen in the pediatric population at our center. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the surgical pathology records from 1997 to 2014 at our center. Results The incidence of granular cell tumor is five cases per million person-years (95% CI 3-8). Of the 18 cases, 9 cases occurred in the pediatric population. Conclusion Fifty percent of granular cell tumor cases diagnosed at our center occurred in the pediatric population. Granular cell tumor may not be as rare as we expect in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Congenital granular cell epulis is a rare benign soft tissue lesion arising from the alveolar ridge in neonates. A rare case of multiple congenital granular cell epulis is reported, alongside a description of its vascular immunohistochemical profile. A female newborn presented with two exophytic pedunculated red nodules located on the alveolar ridge between the future eruption sites of the incisors and canines of the mandible and maxilla. A conservative surgical excision was performed on the second day of life. Histology revealed proliferation of round granular cells containing an abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm with basophilic nuclei, ranging from round to oval in shape. Numerous blood vessels were also seen. Immunohistochemical analysis of the granular cells revealed positivity for CD68, D2-40, Ki67, VEGF, and FGF and negativity for S100, CD34, and CD105. Immunostaining for CD34, CD105, and D2-40 confirmed the presence of a large number of blood and lymphatic vessels. Although rare, an understanding of this lesion is paramount for correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In the present report, the immunohistochemical profile confirmed increased vascularization, proving that these lesions are composed of not only new and preexisting blood vessels, but also lymphatic vessels.
