ABSTRACT
Plasma cell granuloma or inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is diagnosed by a process of elimination. The precise etiology is unknown, although it can occur after a bout of periodontal infection. This report describes the various stages of progression for this ailment. A 49-year-old woman with no noteworthy medical history presented with a recurrent periodontal abscess accompanied by progressive and severe destruction of the right maxilla. There was invasion of the infratemporal fossa and very tight trismus. Histologic examination indicated a reactive plasma cell granuloma. IPT is an entity recognized by the World Health Organization. A triggering infectious or inflammatory factor is often present. In the maxilla, progression is very aggressive. Treatment relies on corticotherapy, with or without radiotherapy, and administration of cyclosporine.
