Abstract
We report the case of a giant mandibular epulis, observed at a fifty-year-old patient. The tumor was taking root in the alveolar bone from the retro-molar to the symphyseal regions; the patient arrived late to the hospital. This great tumor encumbered the whole mouth and induced functional and aesthetic discomfort. The intervention has been done under general anesthesia. It started by total resection of the epulis, denudation, and a revision of the alveoli, then a multiple tooth extraction with a restoration of the gum. The postoperation period was simple and allowed the patient to find his manducatory function. The pathology analysis of the surgical material concluded that it was an inflammatory epulis, with no signs of malignant transformation.
