Overview

Case report reveals gingival plasma cell granuloma mimicking malignancy in a malnourished child, highlighting the necessity of biopsy for rare pediatric oral lesions.

Key Points

  • To present a rare pediatric case of gingival plasma cell granuloma mimicking malignancy in the setting of malnutrition and poor oral hygiene.
  • Clinical and histopathological evaluation of a 3-year-old male with severe gingival swelling and bleeding following oral trauma.
  • Diagnostic incisional biopsy alongside comprehensive management comprising oral debridement, antiseptic mouth rinses, oral antibiotics, and nutritional support.
  • Histopathology revealed extensive polyclonal plasma cell infiltration within a fibrous connective tissue stroma lacking cellular atypia, confirming benign plasma cell granuloma.
  • Conservative therapy combining local debridement, infection control, and nutritional correction resulted in significant clinical improvement of the gingival lesions.
