ORAL MUCOUS MEMBRANE PLASMACYTOSIS. A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Mucous membrane plasmacytosis (MMP) is a rare benign condition. Neoplastic lesions should be considered in the differential diagnosis for this condition, which is clinically involved in different anatomically locations and presents clinically different appearances. Cellular, polyclonal plasma cell infiltration of mucosal tissue is in this condition observed. This case report discusses diagnosis and treatment in a patient with oral involvement of MMP.In the case diagnosed with MMP, no recurrence was observed in the short-term follow-up. However, long-term follow-up of such cases is recommended. Detailed information about the diagnosis and treatment of this clinical condition is still needed.
