Plasma cell gingivitis, which is also called atypical gingivitis or plasma cell gingivostomatitis, is a rare benign inflammatory condition of unknown aetiology. It presents clinically as a diffuse, erythematous and papillary lesion of the gingiva, which frequently bleeds, with minimal trauma.
This is a case report of a 57 year old female patient, where dental plaque was the aetiological factor for plasma cell gingivitis with an unusual presentation.
