Abstract
It is rare that the epulis occurs in pediatrics patients, and epulis is subdivided into several types. Among them, epulis fibrosa osteoplastica is relatively rare.
We reported two cases of epulis fibrosa osteoplastica on the maxillary deciduous second molar region in a 7-year-old male and on the maxillary lateral incisor region in a 9-year-old male.
Case 1: The patient came with tumefaction of the gingival as his chief complaints. It occurred in the gingiva in the maxillary left deciduous second molar region, and the maxillary left deciduous second molar was extracted, the maxillary left second premolar not having come out yet. The tumor was removed surgically under local anesthesia. The second premolar came out soon after surgery.
Case 2: The patient came with tumefaction of the gingival as his chief complaints. It occurred in the gingiva in the maxillary right lateral incisor region. The tumor appeared just after right deciduous lateral incisor fell out. The tumor was removed surgically under local anesthesia.
Histopathologically, both cases were epulis fibrosa osteoplastica.
In both cases, the prognoses of have been good and no recurrence has been observed to date.
