Multiple congenital granular cell tumours of the maxilla and mandible: a rare case report and review of the literature.

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 fe
