Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Oral Cavity: A Rare Case in the Buccal Mucosa.
Clin Case Rep
January 2025
Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP) are uncommon solitary tumors composed of neoplastic plasma cells occurring outside the bone. These lesions are of clinical significance due to their potential progression to multiple myeloma (MM), a more systemic and serious plasma cell malignancy. Although EMPs primarily arise in the head and neck region, cases involving the oral cavity are particularly rare.

- The study investigates the prevalence and types of gingival lesions over a 22-year period, addressing the lack of standardized classifications in previous research.
- It found that of the 7668 biopsied lesions, 684 (8.9%) were gingival, predominantly affecting women, with the most common lesion being peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG).
- The findings suggest a need for improved diagnostic approaches and further analysis with a unified classification system to enhance understanding of gingival lesions.

The objective of this study was to examine the expression of BIRC6 in various oral conditions, including OLP with dysplasia (OLPD), hyperkeratosis (HK), OLP, epithelial dysplasia (ED), and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), to investigate its potential involvement in the development of OSCC and the pathogenesis and malignant transformation of OLP, which is known as a precancerous condition.
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 99 cases, consisting of 19 cases of OSCC, 21 cases of ED, 23 cases of OLP, 20 cases of OLPD, and 16 cases of HK as the control group, were investigated regarding BIRC6 expression by immunohistochemical staining.
Background: At present, the status of oral and maxillofacial pathology (OMFP) in the country is not properly good. This study aimed to investigate the current status and develop practical approaches to improve occupational condition of the specialty in the future from the viewpoint of the beneficiaries.
Materials And Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study.
