    Area of Science:

    • Oral Medicine
    • Dermatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Plasma-cell gingivitis is an uncommon inflammatory oral condition.
    • Etiology is often linked to allergens or irritants, with mint flavoring a common culprit.
    • The condition presents as a diffuse, fiery red enlargement of the gingiva.

    Observation:

    • A case of plasma-cell gingivitis is presented.
    • Clinical examination, patient history (mint usage), laboratory data, and histologic examination supported the diagnosis.
    • The patient lacked glossitis and cheilitis but had a history of psoriasis.

    Findings:

    • Histologic examination confirmed plasma-cell gingivitis.
    • A positive history of psoriasis was noted in this patient.
    • Absence of glossitis and cheilitis was observed, diverging from some literature reports.

    Implications:

    • The co-occurrence of plasma-cell gingivitis and psoriasis warrants further investigation into potential shared etiologic factors.
    • This case highlights the importance of a thorough patient history, including product usage, in diagnosing oral conditions.
    • Further research may elucidate the immunologic links between oral inflammation and dermatologic conditions like psoriasis.
