Being a rare benign condition of the gingiva, PCG is characterized with erythematous and edematous gingivitis. The biologic phenomenon of the hypersensitive reaction appears to be chief etiology behind this occasionally presenting clinical entity. Plasma cell gingivitis has a close resemblance to discoid lupus, lichen planus, cicatricial pemphigoid or leukemia , and HIV gingivitis.It is known to present as a hypersensitive response to allergen, but sometimes it could present as a clinical entity with unknown etiology. The histological picture comprises of a dense infiltration of plasma cells separated with strands of collagen.
