Moving toward a systematic approach for reporting salivary gland cytopathology: cytohistological correlation with the application of the Milan system for risk stratification at a tertiary care center.

Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of salivary glands is a well-established technique that plays a critical role in the preoperative diagnosis of lesions. Despite its clinical utility, it remains one of the most challenging areas in cytopathology. This is because there is no consensus on how to report salivary gland cytopathology, which has resulted in inconsistent terminology and confusion in communication among cytopathologists and clinicians.

An unusual clinical presentation of plasma cell gingivitis related to "Acacia" containing herbal toothpaste.

A 17-year-old female patient presented with unusual enlargement of the gingiva with generalized alveolar bone loss. In spite of periodontal therapy, including plaque control, scaling, root planning and surgical treatment, recurrence with the same degree of the gingival enlargement and further loss of attachment level occurred. Biopsy revealed dense infiltration of normal plasma cells separated by collagenous stroma.
