“…L'épulis gingivale fait partie des pseudo-tumeurs hyperplasiques de la gencive dont les causes les plus fréquemment citées sont les irritations répétées de la gencive et l'imprégna-tion hormonale pendant la grossesse [1]. Généralement de petite taille, elle se présente sous un aspect inflammatoire appelé granulome pyogène [1,2].…”

“…Généralement de petite taille, elle se présente sous un aspect inflammatoire appelé granulome pyogène [1,2]. Cliniquement, l'épulis est une petite masse charnue indolore, circonscrite, rouge foncé très vascularisée, saignant facilement au contact.…”

“…Elle est sessile, pédiculée ou ligamentaire, siégeant classiquement sur le versant vestibulaire de la région incisivo-canine maxillaire. La muqueuse recouvrant la tumeur peut être saignante, mamelonnée ou ulcérée [1]. Elle évolue lentement et ne présente aucun signe de malignité (limites nettes, absence d'adénopa-thie, de douleur, d'induration) [2].…”

Résumé -Introduction : L'épulis est une pseudo-tumeur gingivale qui peut avoir des complications locorégionales voire générales. Ces complications s'observent en Afrique où les retards de diagnostic sont liés à des considérations ethno-sociales. Observation : Un cas d'épulis gingivale géante hémorragique, avec une anémie chronique, est décrit par les auteurs. Le traitement a consisté à la correction de l'anémie et l'exérèse de la tumeur sous anesthésie générale. Discussion : L'importance du volume tumoral associé aux saignements fréquents impose des transfusions sanguines itératives et l'exérèse des épulis sous anesthésie générale. Le pronostic est bon. Abstract -Ulcerated giant epulis: a case. Introduction:An epulis is a gum pseudo-tumor with general or locoregional complications in the absence of early treatment. These complications are observed in Africa where late diagnoses are related to ethno-social factors. Observation: The authors describe a case of a bleeding giant gum epulis with chronic anemia. The treatment consisted of treating the anemia, and tumor excision under general anesthesia. Discussion: The extent of the tumor volume associated with frequent bleeding called for repeated blood transfusion and excision of the epulis under general anesthesia. The prognosis was good after treatment.

“…If the inflammatory cause is irrefutable, some authors suggest the involvement of the host factor. Thus it has been described the development of epulis in women in the genital activity and in pregnant women because of the influence of hormonal disorders [1] [2]. In addition, other factors favoring the genesis of these conditions have been described such as anemias, hemostasis disorders and parasitic eosinophilias [3].…”

Introduction: Epulis is a pseudotumor very common in women. If neglected, it can reach a considerable volume. The marginal gingiva is very involved in the tumor either in isolation or with periodontal and alveolar bone. The epulis sits classically on the vestibular gum, rarely on the palatal side. We report a case of palatal giant epulis which posed a diagnostic problem. Case report: This was a 50-year-old patient with a large tumor occupying the entire oral cavity and pushing all nearby organs. This lesion had been evolving for ten years, with a tendency to gradually increase of its volume. The orthopantomogram revealed the destruction of the underlying alveolar bone without signs of tumor invasion. Surgical excision was performed, removing all the tumor in the vicinity of the nasopalatine vascular pedicle. The pathological examination concludes with an inflammatory epulis. Conclusion: The epulis is a benign tumor of the gum, circumscribed, localized preferentially at the neck of one or two contiguous teeth. It occurs more in women, with a predilection for the vestibular side, rarely the palatal side. In the absence of appropriate treatment it can lead to a large tumor, posing a diagnostic problem and causing functional or aesthetic discomfort. Complete surgical excision with histological examination remains the solution. Healing without sequelae is the rule.

“…The name derives from the ancient Greek and is an aspecific clinical term that bares a topographic meaning, indicating a lesion located over the gengiva [2] [3]. It is twice more common in females and the reasons for this remain unclear [4].…”

The epulis is a relatively frequent benign oral lesion that originates from the gingival and which has no degenerative potential. A 73-year-old-woman came to our attention for a mass, located in the oral cavity and more precisely in the right inferior maxillary alveolar ridge, that the patient firstly noticed 2 years earlier. Its dimensions increased over time and now were relevant. The mass was mobile, and non-ulcerated e did not evoke pain when palpated. It was characterized by a thin pedicle and its resection, under local anesthesia, allowed a complete removal of the mass itself. The histological examination showed a fibrous and plasmacellular epulis with calcific spots and mixoid aspects. We here report this case for the unique dimensions of this epulis and in order to give a useful example that could help in the differential diagnosis of the lesions located in the oral cavity.
