Plasma Cell Mucositis of Oro- and Hypopharynx : A Case Report

Abstract EN

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.
