Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Plasma cell mucositis (PCM) is a rare benign proliferative disorder affecting various mucosal surfaces usually seen in elderly patients. In the present case, a 66-year-old male patient reported with the complaint of bleeding from the oral cavity and enlarged gums in relation to lower right 1st& 2nd molars. Incisional biopsy of the involved mucosal area confirmed the diagnosis of plasma cell mucositis (PCM). Diagnosis of this condition is complex often needs a biopsy, histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry. Management includes conventional gingivectomy and intra lesional steroid injection. Regular follow up of plasma cell mucositis (PCM) is essential due to the possibility of its clinical persistence. There is the potential involvement of other mucosal surfaces and chances of malignant transformation.
