A rare case of congenital epulis with natal tooth in a 6-month-old girl is presented. The lesion was excised under general anesthesia. Histological examination revealed that the tooth had scanty root formation and was directly connected to the soft tissue without periodontal membrane. The epulis consisted of fibrous connective tissue covered by layers of stratified squamous epithelium. According to these findings, it was considered that the epulis was formed by the response to irritation of the natal tooth as a result of the upward transposition of germs.
