epulis

Women during pregnancy can also present with an epulis, which will resolve after birth.

This is a long standing fibrous epulis in which bone has begun to form.

The congenital epulis is a proliferation of cells on the upper jaw at birth.

An epulis fissuratum in a patient without dentures can also be diagnostic of Crohn's disease.

Sometimes, this disease can found in conjunction with another denture-related disease, an epulis fissuratum.

This epulis contains giant cells.

Neumann tumour: Congenital epulis.

This term is used in America, however in Britain, this lesion would be termed a fibrous epulis containing bone.

This type of epulis is neither pyogenic ("pus producing") nor a true granuloma, but it is a vascular lesion.

This epulis is non-acquired, which is in contrast to most other epulides which tend to be reactive lesions to tissue irritation.

Leukoplakia, Epulis, Gingival Hyperplasia, Gingivitis, Periodontitis and Aphthous ulcer (canker sore)

Sometimes the term epulis is used synonymously with epulis fissuratum, but this is technically incorrect as several other lesions could be described as epulides.

About 75% of all pyogenic granulomas occur on the gingiva, although they may also occur elsewhere in the mouth or other parts of the body (where the term epulis is inappropriate).

Epulis is also sometimes used synonymously with epulis fissuratum, however other conditions are classified as epulides, e.g. giant cell epulis (peripheral giant cell granuloma), ossifying fibroid epulis (peripheral ossifying fibroma), and congenital epulis.
