Plasma cell granulomas are rare benign growths, typically in the lungs. This case details an unusual oral presentation, emphasizing biopsy for diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Dermatopathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Plasma cell granulomas (PCGs), also known as pseudotumors, are uncommon benign proliferations primarily affecting the lungs.
  • While typically found in pulmonary tissue, PCGs can manifest in diverse anatomical sites, presenting diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old male presented with a rare gingival overgrowth in the maxillary anterior region.
  • The lesion was treated via excisional biopsy, revealing a dense infiltrate of plasma cells.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed a plasma cell granuloma, characterized by a predominant plasma cell infiltrate.
  • Immunohistochemistry demonstrated a polyclonal staining pattern for kappa and lambda light chains, supporting the benign nature of the lesion.

Implications:

  • Intraoral plasma cell granulomas are exceedingly rare, with limited documented cases.
  • This case underscores the critical importance of biopsy for unusual oral lesions to exclude neoplastic processes and establish accurate diagnoses.
