In our study majority of cases were of Squamous cell carcinoma constituting 67.9% cases, Haemangioma 5.8% cases, chronic tonsillitis 4.8% cases, chronic inflammation 1.9% cases, squamous papilloma 2.9% cases, verrucous carcinoma, fibrolipoma, ameloblastic carcinoma, epulis and lichen planus constituting 1.9% cases each respectively and pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, lymphangioma, basal cell carcinoma, angiofibroma, fibrous histiocytoma and NHL constituting 0.9% cases each respectively.

A poorly fitted prosthesis can give rise to a plethora of problems, notably Epulis fissuratum, residual ridge resorption, ulceration of the soft tissue, etc.

The tumor clinically resembled an epulis and caused bone resorption.

The age of presentation of MNTI may overlap with congenital granular cell tumor of the newborn (congenital epulis), but the characteristic histology would help rule this entity out.

The peripheral type can be similar to a gingival fibroma or epulis [17].

Originally described by German pathologist, Ernst Christian Neumann in 1871 [1], congenital granular cell tumor (CGCT) has also been referred to as congenital epulis and Neumann tumor.

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), sometimes also called pyogenic granuloma or epulis gravidarum, is a benign overgrowth of capillaries showing a vascular phenotype.

These changes in hormones begin from the 2nd month of gestation and peaks at 8th month.5,9-13 Pregnancy gingivitis is also associated with pregnancy epulis or pregnancy granuloma which is a localized gingival swelling which regresses itself after pregnancy or may require a surgical course.5
