QUESTION

Tumour arising from bone and periosteum at the alveolar border/mucosa in oral cavity?

OPTIONS

(A) Odontoma
(B) Epulis
(C) Myoma
(D) Chondroma

ANSWER

(B) Epulis

EXPLANATION

Epulis denotes a gingival or alveolar-margin mass arising at the edge of a tooth, sometimes involving adjacent periodontal tissues. Odontoma is a tumor of dental tissue, myoma arises from muscle, and chondroma from cartilage, so those labels do not match the generic gingival mass.
