Abstract:Dense infiltration of plasma cells in the gingiva may be an isolated granuloma or diffusely involve the gingiva caused due to a variety of edible allergens. Prerequisite diagnosis of plasma cell gingivitis is important in order to differentiate it from other analogous malignancies. Here we have documented a case of plasma cell gingivitis due to the indiscriminate use of an herbal product. A 26 year old male presented with enlarged and edematous gingiva. A series of CD (cluster of differentiation) markers were used to confirm diagnosis and to distinguish between malignant and non malignant lesions.Key words: Antigens, Cell Differentiation, Gingiva, Gingivitis, Granuloma.
