ATYPICAL PLASMA CELL GINGIVOSTOMATITIS: A RARE CASE REPORT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Plasma cell gingivostomatitis belongs to a group of uncommon benign inflammatory conditions characterised by macular lesions that are bright red, velvety, sharply circumscribed, flat to slightly elevated in nature. Intra-oral lesions can manifest as dense band-like gingival enlargements with plasma-cystic infiltrate seen in the histo-pathological sections. The present case report highlights findings of atypical plasma cell gingivostomatitis further managed through clinical, radiological, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, hematological analysis and treated with surgical periodontal therapy.
Method: Intra-oral periodontal parameters were assessed followed by non-surgical periodontal therapy. In the later phase, internal bevel gingivectomy carried out and approximated with interrupted sutures. Furthermore, gingivoplasty with a 810nm diode laser, for better adaptation of gingival margins was performed. The patient was recalled for follow-up visits at regular intervals and results were maintained.
Result: Intra-oral histopathological sections revealed plasma cell gingivitis whereas hematological reports were suggestive of anemia. Gradual follow up showed reduced gingival inflammation. Post-surgical wound healing was satisfactory. Disappearance of extraoral induration was highlighting feature in the post-operative phase.Further patient was recalled for follow-up visits at regular intervals and results were found to be maintained.
Conclusion: The overall gingival condition was seen to be improving at the follow-up visits. The authors thus conclude that the case of plasma cell gingivitis treated by comprehensive periodontal therapy showed satisfactory results at 3 years follow-up and no recurrence in extra-oral findings was noted.
