“Oral Plasma Cell Granuloma - A Pseudo-Tumor?”
Plasma Cell Granuloma (PCG) is a rare reactive tumor like growth which is chiefly composed of plasma cell infiltration. The diag nosis of plasma cell lesions is challenging as these can be misinterpreted as various pathologies of soft tissue sometimes, thus the complete evaluation of patient and proper histopathological as well as IHC (Immunohistochemical) analysis of tissue is obligatory to rule out other lesions with poor prognosis. In this paper, we present two cases of PCG at different sites, one on gingiva and other on buccal mucosa mimicking as pyogenic granuloma clinically and plasma cell neoplasm histopathologically. The purpose of this paper is to make out proper diagnosis of such lesions not only on the basis of clinicopathological findings but also to perform immunohis tochemical analysis to rule out other neoplasm which can be aggressive and also to advocate most suitable treatment plan for such entities. Keywords: Plasma Cell Granuloma (PCG); Plasma Cell Lesions; Oral Mucosa; IHC Markers (Kappa and Lambda)
