Abstract
A case of congenital epulis in a triple X infant, whose intra-oral mass was
first detected on a 33-week prenatal ultrasound, is described. Two previou
s ultrasound studies performed at 21 and 28 weeks' gestation showed normal
facial anatomy, suggesting accelerated tumour growth during the third trime
ster. Genetic amniocentesis also showed the infant to possess a 47, XXX kar
yotype. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
