Plasma cell mucositis: a review
Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Plasma cell mucositis (PCM) is an infrequent disease arising from internal dysfunctions of unspecified rationale. In this disease, plasma cells increase rapidly into connective tissue enormously. This condition influences upper aerodigestive tract and one or more body orifices. The motive of this review is to focus on assorted treatment modalities, differential diagnosis and etiology of PCM with emphasis on comprehensive history taking. Inspite of the fact that it is an uncommon condition, it necessitates immense evaluation and should be considered as “diagnosis of evaluation”. The literature was searched using “Pub Med” and electronic databases from 1981 to 2017. A total of 98 articles were retrieved from 1952-2017. Among the retrieved articles, most of them were case reports related to medical treatment procedures, 7 were short studies and 5 articles reviewed the differential diagnosis of PCM. In latest documentation, emphasis made on comprehensive history picklings to explore the probable cause and allergen, evaluation and performing particular investigations to reach at conclusion. Substantial researches are essential to approach at ultimate result for specific treatment modality for management of PCM.
