Plasma Cell Granuloma of Gingiva -A Rare Case Report

The term "plasma cell granuloma" is used to describe a localized benign proliferation of mature plasma cells. Intraoral plasma cell granulomas involving the tongue, lip, oral mucosa and gingiva have been reported in the past. This case presents a 16year-old female with maxillary anterior gingival overgrowth. Histological examination revealed inflammatory cell infiltrate containing sheets of plasma cells. This case highlights the need that tends to locate in the oral cavity, primarily on the periodontal tissue. It reinforces the existence of plasma cell granuloma on the gingiva that it is extremely uncommon. Clinical features and histopathologicaly in early stages closely resembles plasmacytoma (malignant). This case highlights the need to biopsy unusual lesions to rule out potential neoplasms and also emphasizes the need to submit all the excised tissue for histological.
