Abstract

Aim: To describe the diagnosis and management of Plasma Cell Gingivitis with oral presentation.

Background: An uncommon benign condition known as plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is typically observed on attached and marginal gingiva. Histopathologically, it is identified by the infiltration of plasma cells in connective tissue. Antigen-induced hypersensitivity reaction is regarded as the main etiological cause.

Case Description: Here the present case is of an 41-year-old female patient suffering from gingival enlargement along with high fever since last 15 days. Histopathological evaluation of tissue revealed lesion as plasma cell gingivitis. After giving medication the lesion heals gradually without any surgical intervention.

Conclusion: Early detection is crucial because plasma cell gingivitis shares pathologic features with leukaemia, multiple myeloma, discoid lupus erythematosus, atrophic lichen planus, desquamative gingivitis, and cicatricial pemphigoid that must be distinguished through hematologic testing.
