Paper text:
plasma cell granuloma , otherwise known as an inflammatory pseudotumor is an uncommon non - neoplastic lesion considered to be the result of an inflammatory condition .
plasma cell granuloma is very rare in the oral cavity , and more so , on the gingiva .
plasma cell granuloma has been called by different terms , namely ; inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor , inflammatory pseudotumor , inflammatory myofibrohistiocytic proliferation , and xanthomatous pseudotumor .
although it is an uncommon lesion , when it occurs it is commonly seen in the lungs and some other anatomic locations such as brain , kidney , stomach , heart , and so on . in the head and neck region
it has been reported in the oral mucosa , temporal bone , tonsil , sub - mandibular region , paranasal sinuses , tongue , and on the gingiva[1317 ] .
the lesion 's etiopathogenesis , biological behavior , and appropriate treatments are unclear , and little is known about the prognosis .
it may arise due to periodontitis , periradicular inflammation due to the presence of a foreign body or may be due to an idiopathic antigenic cue .
the most commonly considered treatment for plasma cell granuloma is a complete resection ; however , in some cases , total surgical excision is not possible .
a 42-year - old indian female patient reported to the department of periodontics , pacific dental college and hospital with a gingival enlargement in the right upper anterior region between the lateral incisor and the canine .
it was firm , lobulated , and attached to the gingiva by a narrow stalk [ figure 1 ] .
the patient complained of the enlargement interfering with the oral hygiene procedures and was bleeding on brushing .
gingival enlargement in the right upper anterior region between the lateral incisor and the canine a complete hemogram was done and all the values were within normal limits .
intraoral , periapical radiograph of the region showing no bony involvement an excisional biopsy and gingivoplasty was performed under local anesthesia and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination .
the histopathological examination , with hemotoxylin and eosin stain , revealed a stratified squamous parakeratinized hyperplastic epithelium , with underlying fibrocellular connective tissue stroma [ figure 3 ] , with fibroblasts , few lymphocytes , and abundant plasma cells [ figure 4 ] .
however , a typical eccentrically placed hyperchromatic , cartwheel - shaped nucleus of the plasma cell was also evident [ figure 5 ] .
the histopathological appearance , when co - related with the clinical features , was suggestive of plasma cell granuloma of the gingiva .
immunohistochemical staining for kappa and lambda light chains was carried out , to check for the presence of plasma cells .
a strong positivity for the kappa light chain was seen in the polyclonal plasma cell population [ figure 6 ] , whereas , a weak expression was noted for the lambda light chain [ figure 7 ] , with a ratio of 2:1 .
a polarized microscopic study was also carried out , but failed to reveal any birefringence .

during the late 1960s and early 1970s , cases of plasma cell infiltrates of the lips , gums , and tongue were described primarily in the dental literature under the names of atypical gingivistomatitis , idiopathic gingivistomatits , and allergic gingivostomatitis .
the lesions were thought to be a result of a reaction to chewing gum , dentrifices , and other foreign substances , although extensive allergy testing had been inconclusive .
tumors that are mainly composed of plasma cells may be multiple myeloma , solitary myeloma , soft tissue myeloma ( plasmacytoma ) , or plasma cell granuloma .
multiple myeloma and solitary myeloma are tumors of the bone , whereas , plasmacytoma and plasma cell granuloma are soft tissue tumors .
differentiating the type of soft tissue tumor is mandatory , as plasma cell granuloma may be benign , but plasmacytoma may show early stages of multiple myeloma .
plasmacytoma is a well - defined locally destructive lesion , located on the mucosa of the oropharyngeal region , which may be singular like plasma cell granuloma .
histologically , they have typical and atypical plasma cells , unlike plasma cell granuloma , which consists of normal plasma cells and small lymphocytes that are surrounded by connective tissue septa , rusell fuchs bodies .
the immunohistochemistry determines the clonality of the lesion , where , in a reactive lesion , the kappa to lambda light chain ratio is 2:1 , and in the case of malignancy the ratio may be greater than 10:1 or 1:10 .
the large number of plasma cells may represent an autoimmune reaction or an alteration of blood flow imposing congestive vasodilation .
the etiology remains unclear , but it is thought to aris due to a non - specific inflammatory response to an unknown exogenous agent .
this case report reinforces the existence of plasma cell granuloma on the gingiva and the need for submitting all the excised gingival tissue for microscopic examination , irrespective of the clinical features and clinical diagnosis .
plasma cell granuloma is a rare benign lesion characterized by the infiltration of plasma cells ; primarily occurring in the lungs . 
 it is also seen to occur in the brain , kidney stomach , heart , and so on . in the intraoral region 
 it is seen to involve the tongue , oral mucosa , and gingiva . 
 this case presents a 42-year - old female , with an enlargement in the maxillary anterior region , treated by excisional biopsy . 
 histological evaluation revealed plasma cell infiltrates in the connective tissue . 
 the immunohistochemistry revealed kappa and lambda light chains with a polyclonal staining pattern , which confirmed the diagnosis of plasma cell granuloma .
