Introduction: Neuman's tumors also called congenital epulis or congenital gingival granulomatous tumors are rare and benign oral cavity tumors. They are usually discovered at birth.
Case report: A 32 year-old pregnant female patient was followed for gravid diabetes well controlled. A maxillary tumor in the fetus was revealed by the third trimester US. A fetal MRI was prescribed, after discussion with the antenatal diagnostic center, to determine the localization, size, and nature of the tumor. It revealed a 3 cm long tumor with cystic like areas not communicating with the encephalus. A caesarian section was performed 2 weeks before term. A simple tumoral excision was performed at 12 hours of age. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. There was no local recurrence after 6 months of follow-up.
Discussion: A prenatal diagnosis of congenital gingival granulomatous tumor is rare. It is usually made at the third trimester ultrasound scan, rarely with fetal MRI. Nevertheless, prenatal diagnosis allows for a better postnatal management.
