“…Plasma cell gingivitis is a rare, benign condition, which is thought to be a hypersensitivity response. Many authors claim that it is an immunological reaction to allergens present in toothpaste, mint pastels, chewing gum, khat, food flavoring allergens and oral care products [13][14][15]. Our patient used dentures, but removal of them did not result in improvement.…”

Introduction. Plasma cell mucositis (PCM) is a rare condition consisting of plasma cell infiltrate of the mucous membranes that usually involves the genital epithelium. Less frequently lesions are present in the mouth or upper respiratory tract. The etiology of PCM remains unknown. The lesions may occur in the unchanged epithelium (idiopathic, isolated PCM), on the base of inflammatory skin diseases (lichen planus, lichen sclerosus) or cancer (squamous cell carcinoma).Objective. To present a case and draw attention to PCM as a differential diagnosis of lesions within the oral mucous membrane. Case report. We present a patient with painful erosions and erythematous patches located within the mucous membrane of the palate and cheeks lasting more than 5 months. The diagnosis was based on clinical and histopathological examination. Conclusions. The course of PCM includes periods of exacerbations and remissions. Treatment with antibiotics, antifungal agents, local and systemic corticosteroids, isotretinoin or destructive methods usually provides symptomatic relief but does not lead to lesions regression. STRESZCZENIEWprowadzenie. Plazmocytowe zapalenie błon śluzowych (ang. plasma cell mucositis -PCM) jest rzadką jednostką chorobową charakteryzują-cą się naciekiem plazmocytarnym, najczęściej obejmującym nabłonek zewnętrznych narządów płciowych. Znacznie rzadziej zmiany lokalizują się w obrębie jamy ustnej i górnych dróg oddechowych. Etiologia PCM jest nieznana. Zmiany mogą powstać w nabłonku niezmienionym (idiopatyczne, izolowane PCM), jak również na podłożu innych dermatoz zapalnych (liszaj płaski, liszaj twardzinowy) bądź chorób nowotworowych (rak kolczystokomórkowy). Cel pracy. Przedstawienie przypadku PCM i zwrócenie uwagi na konieczność uwzględniania tej jednostki chorobowej w diagnostyce róż-nicowej zmian zlokalizowanych w obrębie błon śluzowych jamy ustnej. Opis przypadku. Prezentujemy przypadek pacjentki ze zmianami w obrębie błon śluzowych policzków i podniebienia w postaci nawracających od 5 miesięcy nadżerek, zmian rumieniowych i ognisk zbielenia z towarzyszącą bolesnością. Rozpoznanie choroby ustalono na podstawie obrazu klinicznego i wyniku badania histopatologicznego.Plasma cell mucositis -a rare differential diagnosis for ulceration of oral mucosa Plazmocytarne zapalenie błon śluzowych -rzadka diagnostyka różnicowa zmian w obrębie błon śluzowych jamy ustnej

“…Treatment of PCM is based mainly on relieving symptoms. Many methods of treatment have been reported, including topical [13] systemic [10] and intralesional [6,14] corticosteroids, and pulses of corticosteroids [9]. In some reported cases application of corticosteroids resulted in partial [15,16] or complete [13,17] regression.…”

“…6 The etiology of PCG is not clear, but due to the obvious presence of plasma cells many authors are of the opinion that it is an immunological reaction to allergens; these latter may occur in toothpaste, chewing gum, mint pastels and certain foods. [5][6][7][8][9][10] It has been suggested that strong spices and some herbs such as chilli, pepper and cardamom may be important factors. 5,8,9 Hedin et al 7 reached the conclusion, based on a material comprising 14 patients, that PCG is the result of an allergic reaction to bacterial plaque, even though this had been eliminated by means of conventional periodontal treatment.…”

Plasma cell gingivitis apparently related to the use of khat: report of a case

Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is characterized by massive infiltration of plasma cells into the subepithelial tissue. It is a rare condition; the cause of which is still not fully understood. A case of PCG is reported in the mandibular gingiva probably caused by chewing khat. This report is the first, as far as we know, that relates PCG to the use of khat. The histological examination revealed infiltration of polyclonal plasma cells without signs of fungus, tuberculosis or malignancy. It is concluded that the changes were compatible with an allergic-like reaction. The patient, a 30-year-old immigrant from Somalia, revealed in a subsequent consultation that he regularly used khat. The leaves are placed in the buccal sulcus. The PCG disappeared within two weeks of the use of khat being discontinued. Dental surgeons (periodontists) in Europe and the New World will, due to increasing immigration from Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, meet more patients who regularly use khat. This means that PCG and other khat related intraoral changes will become more common in the future.

“…Early diagnosis and effective treatment protocol is essential as PCG has similar pathologic changes seen clinically as in leukemia, HIV infection, discoid lupus erythematosis, atrophic lichen planus, desquamative gingivitis, or cicatricial pemphigoid that must be differentiated through hematologic and serologic testing. [4] Here, we present a rare case report of PCG in a 13 year old due to allergy of various routine dietary products.…”

Plasma Cell Gingivitis Influenced by Dietary Factors: An Unusual Case Presentation

Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is a rare benign condition clinically characterized by erythematous gingivitis and histopathologically by diffuse and massive infiltration of plasma cells into the sub-epithelial connective tissue. It is thought to be allergic in origin by various dentifrices, flavoring agents, chewing gums or food products. The recognition and elimination of exposure to the antigenic agent brings remission of such conditions. Here, we present an unusual clinical presentation and management of plasma cell gingivitis due to various routine dietary products in a 13 year old female.
