Reactive Hyperplastic Lesion of Endodontic Origin Mimicking Pregnancy Tumor: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Gingiva is a common region of inflammatory and reactive lesions. Systemic conditions, including hormonal imbalance in pregnant women, may cause exaggerated response to irritations such as calculus or infection. Therefore, more accurate assessment is necessary to achieve the best decision making in the differential diagnosis and treatment of these patients. In this paper, we present a reactive hyperplastic lesion of endodontic origin (parulis) on the gingiva in a pregnant woman, which mimicking pregnancy tumor.

Oral plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare malignancy, associated with HIV or other immunocompromised conditions. The lesion constituted a new subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and proposed a distinct entity based on its basic morphology, its clinical behaviour involving predominantly extramedullary sites (particularly oral cavity), and its limited antigenic phenotype data suggesting pl...
