Background. Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is a rare condition of the gingiva, characterized histopathologically by infiltration of plasma cells in connective tissue. Hypersensitivity reaction due to antigen is considered as primary etiological factor. Case Presentation. The present case is of an 18-year-old male patient suffering from gingival enlargement along with cheilitis. Histopathological and immunohistochemistry of tissue revealed lesion as plasma cell gingivitis. After gingivectomy, the follow up of the patient was done for 8 months. Gradual reduction of lip swelling was observed after gingivectomy during subsequent visits. Conclusion. Early diagnosis is essential as plasma cell gingivitis has similar pathologic changes seen clinically as in leukemia, multiple myeloma, discoid lupus erythematosus, atrophic lichen planus, desquamative gingivitis, or cicatricial pemphigoid which must be differentiated through hematologic examination.

Systemic Involvement

A 90 years female diagnosed as a case of Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) developed Squamous cell carcinoma from the lesions over a period of 5 years due to treatment gap and late follow up. Diagnosis was based on clinical aspects (erythematous, nodular and scanty bleeding), dermoscopic features and histopathological examination, the absence of systemic involvement and routine laboratory parameters, which registered all within normal range.SCC in a patient with DLE is rare in Nepalese patients. It is every essential to counsel the diagnosed cases of DLE and warn all patients about all the possible outcomes and compliance with medications should be ensured.Nepal Journal of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprology, Vol.14(1) 2016, pp.51-55

The Face

Discoid or chronic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that produces skin lesions on the face and scalp. Rarely do lesions present with linear configuration, but when they do, the lesions often follow the lines of embryologic migration. A 24-year-old man presented with a slowly progressing asymptomatic violaceous linear patch running from the root of his frontal scalp to the nasal tip. A Doppler ultrasound and skin biopsy were performed and the histological findings demonstrated characteristic findings of discoid lupus erythematosus. A full physical examination, review of systems and laboratory investigations showed no indication of systemic lupus. High potency topical steroids and calcineurin inhibitors were prescribed along with photoprotection. At 4-month follow-up, all his lesions had mostly cleared. We report here the first case, to our knowledge, of discoid lupus erythematosus with en coup de saber presentation mimicking morphea.
