Congenital Epulis or Neumann’s tumour is a rare benign outgrowth commonly from the maxilla in a new-born. It presents dramatically at birth of a child with breathing or feeding problems. The treatment in such symptomatic infants is prompt excision which presents a challenge to Surgeons but more so to the anaesthesiologist. A case report is presented here with a focus on the methods of anesthesia and surgery. A brief literature review is also presented.
