    Summary

    Acute leukemia can manifest with oral symptoms like gum swelling and bleeding. A rare case highlights diagnosing leukemia through a tooth extraction biopsy revealing malignant cells.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Acute leukemia presents with various oral manifestations, including gingival hypertrophy, hemorrhage, petechiae, ecchymoses, ulcerations, paresthesia, and infections.
    • Early recognition of these signs is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • A unique case involved diagnosing acute leukemia only after a biopsy of tissue from a recent tooth extraction socket.
    • The biopsy revealed malignant cells, suggesting leukemia or lymphoma.

    Findings:

    • The oral tissue presented as epulis granulomatosa, a condition requiring thorough investigation.
    • Malignant cells indicative of acute leukemia were identified microscopically.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering systemic diseases like leukemia in oral lesions, even after extraction.
    • Differential diagnosis of epulis granulomatosa must include ruling out underlying hematologic malignancies through comprehensive clinical, radiographic, and microscopic evaluation.
