Abstract

Abstract : Objective . To raise awareness of plasma cell mucositis as a rare differential diagnosis for oral mucosal ulceration and its macroscopic similarity to malignancy. Method . We report a patient who presented with oral features suggestive of malignancy. A biopsy revealed plasma cell mucositis. Results . The patient successfully had a full excision of one lesion and a spontaneous resolution of the other. Conclusion . With the increasing incidence of oral mucosal pathology, physicians should be aware of this differential diagnosis.
