Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is a condition in which a hypersensitive reaction is seen to various etiologic causes in the gingival tissue. A rare form of PCG, called plasma cell granuloma may sometimes occur, in which enlargement of a specific area of the mouth is seen. This case report elicits a case of such a rare case of the granuloma in the anterior maxilla of a 25-year-old patient.

Dentigerous cyst (DC) is a common oral lesion formed by fluid accumulation between the fully formed tooth crown and the reduced enamel epithelium. It is associated mostly with mandibular impacted third molar and rarely with the mesiodens. This is an interesting case report of dentigerous cyst in the presence of full complement of teeth.

Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of enamel organ type tissue. It is the most common odontogenic neoplasm with more frequency in the mandible. A 20 years old male patient presented with a swelling in the right side of the mandible of 10 months duration. Orthopantomograph revealed multilocular radiolucency extending from the region of 46 to the condyle. Incision biopsy revealed features of plexiform ameloblastoma. Numerous vascular spaces of varying size were seen throughout the stroma. Excision biopsy also revealed similar findings. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of hemangiomatous plexiform ameloblastoma was made. Hemangiomatous ameloblastoma (HA) is still a controversial entity, with some pathologists ruling it out as a separate lesion. This paper discusses the possibility that HA might be an aggressive variant of ameloblastoma and reviews relevant literature.
