Abstract
An epulis(plural: epulides) is a benign neoplasm derived from the periodontal ligament or connective tissue. They occur commonly in dogs [1]. Epulides can be classified into four types on the basis of histologic appearance: Fibromatous, ossifying, acanthomatous and giant cell [2]. Here we report a case of epulis that shows all features of fibromatous, ossifying and giant cell epulides simultaneously. (omitted)
