Abstract
Congenital granulosa cell epulis is a rare benign tumor that occurs in the oral cavity of newborns. It is extremely rare during the fetal period. The incidence of this disease is 6 per million. The lesion often occurs in the maxillary alveolar ridge, and the incidence in women is 8-10 times that of men. This article describes a case of congenital granulosa cell epulis occurring in the fetal mandibular alveolar ridge discovered by prenatal ultrasound. Postpartum surgical intervention was performed, and the pathological results confirmed the ultrasound findings. Prenatal diagnosis of CGCE is of great significance to the clinical management of the disease.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
