Abstract
A well‐documented case of plasma‐cell gingivitis is presented. When viewed in a total perspective, the clinical examination, history of usage of a popular mint, laboratory data and histologic examination provide support for this diagnosis. This patient did not exhibit any evidence of glossitis or Cheilitis as is often reported in the literature; however, a positive history to psoriasis was noted. The occurrence of plasma‐cell gingivitis in a patient with documented psoriasis provides some interesting speculation regarding the etiologic picture of this condition.Keywords
