“…In our series, because tumor resection was considered mutilating and/or extensive, 2 patients (nos. 4 and 5) were effectively managed with corticosteroids and antibiotics, respectively; whether these lesions responded to treatment or spontaneously regressed, a well-known event that may occur even in recurrent cases, remains to be elucidated [49,50].…”

“…Reports of recurrences are few, hence the importance of thinking about the diagnosis and treating it properly [20,21]. Case Reports in Dentistry PCG does not have an age preference [22]. Even though they can present as multiple simultaneous lesions, they are most commonly solitary [22].…”

Plasma cell granulomas (PCGs) or inflammatory pseudotumors are nonneoplastic lesions that consist of predominantly antibody-secreting plasma cells and innate immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and eosinophils. Unlike in multiple myeloma, the plasma cells are polyclonal and present in a spindly fibroblast-rich stromal background. These lesions mainly occur in the lungs; however, they can arise in other organs. PCGs from the gingiva are extremely rare, and a proper diagnosis is crucial to treat these patients further. These tumors have an increased number of plasma cells that are immunoreactive with CD138 and are polyclonal for kappa and lambda light chains, confirming these proliferations’ nonneoplastic nature. Surgical resection with clear margins, when possible, is the primary choice of treatment. Radiation and anti-inflammatory steroid therapy are other therapeutic approaches. Critical and careful examination by a pathologist is necessary to rule out plasma cell neoplasms. Here, we report a rare occurrence of gingival PCG in an elderly male.

“…Due to often suspected malignant processes (27, 56), the decision will be influenced to perform a radical surgical therapy. Steroids, antibiotics, and antiviral drugs are also applied successfully against IPT/IMTs of parenchymatous organs (3, 7, 49, 57, 58); spontaneous regression is rarely observed (59).…”

The liver and biliary tract were the most commonly affected of all body regions, at 32%. This was followed by the lung, including the respiratory tract, at 27%, and by the gastrointestinal tract, at 10%. Lesions of the large bowel, as in the present case of a 9-year-old boy, are very rare. There were organ-related as well as nonspecific clinical symptoms, such as fever, weight loss, and fatigue. Laboratory test results revealed anemia and elevated inflammation-dependent parameters. The patterns in medical imaging are variable and nonspecific. Morphology often suggests a malignant process. For this reason, therapy in most cases is surgical, but this is required more often in IMTs. Many IPTs could be treated conservatively.
