Plasma cell mucositis (PCM) is a rare benign proliferative disorder affecting various mucosal surfaces usually seen in elderly patients. In the present case, a 13-year-old young boy reported with the complaint of swollen upper lip and enlarged gums in relation to upper front teeth. The diagnosis of plasma cell mucositis is complex and frequently requires histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry. Management included conventional gingivectomy and intralesional steroid. Regular follow-up of PCM is essential based on the possibility of recurrence, the potential involvement of other mucosal surfaces and unknown potential for malignant transformation.
浆细胞性黏膜炎（PCM）是一种罕见的良性增殖性疾病，可累及各种黏膜表面，多见于老年患者。在本病例中，一名13岁的小男孩因上前牙相关的上唇肿胀和牙龈肿大前来就诊。浆细胞性黏膜炎的诊断较为复杂，通常需要进行组织病理学检查和免疫组织化学检查。治疗包括传统的牙龈切除术和病损内注射类固醇。鉴于浆细胞性黏膜炎有复发的可能性、其他黏膜表面可能受累以及存在未知的恶变潜能，对其进行定期随访至关重要。
