Plasma cell gingivitis: A case report
Abstract
Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is a rare condition of the gingiva, characterized by infiltration of plasma cells. The etiology is largely unknown, but it is thought to be due to a hypersensitivity reaction to an allergen. We report an interesting case of plasma cell gingivitis in a 28-year-old male patient, suffering from muscular dystrophy type II, diagnosed by histopathological examination of the excised gingival tissue, which was necessitated due to the refractory nature of the lesion to conventional treatment. The patient responded to topical 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide and 5 mg Levocetirizine.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
