Abstract: Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. It is also referred to as atypical gingivostomatitis, idiopathic gingivostomatitis, allergic gingivostomatitis, and plasma cell gingivostomatitis which are characterized by bright fiery red gingiva with spontaneous bleeding on slight provocation. It is often confused with inflammatory gingival enlargement, erythematosus lichen planus, and other lesions. One such rare and benign entity is discussed in this article and managed after thorough cl… Show more

Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is an uncommon benign gingival condition characterized by sharply defined erythematous and oedematous gingival lesions, often extending to the mucogingival junction. This hypersensitivity reaction presents as diffuse, papillary gingival inflammation, prone to bleeding upon minimal trauma. Histologically, PCG manifests as a dense infiltration of normal plasma cells within collagenous stroma, typically localized to the free and attached gingiva. The primary management approach involves identification and avoidance of the allergen source, alongside nonsurgical periodontal therapy. We report a 26-years-old female patient diagnosed clinically as plasma cell gingivitis and confirmed histologically. Surgical treatment along with pharmacological interventions resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation and tailored treatment approaches in managing plasma cell gingivitis.

The detection of a white and red lesion on the oral mucosa can bring a number of obstacles to the practitioner, since they can range from benign to malignant processes. An important group of ailments characterized by white and red patches of the oral mucosa include infections, traumatic lesions, systemic and local immune-mediated lesions, possibly cancerous disorders, and neoplasms. The oral mucosa is frequently affected with benign white lesions that don't need to be treated. These include birth defects or developmental disorders including Fordyce granules, hereditary benign intraepithelial dyskeratosis, pachyonychia congenita, and white sponge nevus.While many of the infective and inflammatory conditions for which causes are known can be treated in primary care, some persistent white and red patches, which have the potential to transform to malignancy, require a specialist's attention.Clinical diagnostic skills and good judgment forms the key to successful management of white and red lesions of the oral cavity.The primary goal of management of these lesions includes prevention, early detection, and treatment before malignant transformation. The aim of this article is to inform the clinician about management of red and white lesions of oral cavity.

Plasmacytoid mucositis is a rare form of periodontal disease characterized by the infiltration of plasma cells into the gingival tissues. This case report highlights a unique case of plasmacytoid mucositis with periodontal involvement in a young woman. A 32-year-old female presented with gingival hyperplasia and cheilitis. The clinical examination revealed the presence of deep periodontal pockets, severe gingival inflammation, and bone loss. The patient was treated with a combination of nonsurgical periodontal therapy, systemic antibiotics, and oral hygiene instructions. After 2 months of the treatment, the patient showed significant improvement in the clinical parameters. This case report adds to the existing literature on this condition, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment. It highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving periodontists, histopathologists, and microbiologists. The lesson to be learned from this case report is that plasmacytoid periodontitis should be considered and a biopsy should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
