ABSTRACT
Mucous membrane plasmacytosis is a rare benign condition characterized by plasma cell infiltration of the mucosa of upper aerodigestive tract. The lesions typically produce a cobblestone or warty appearance of the larynx, pharynx, palate, lips, mouth, tongue and trachea. Histologically, the lesions are characterized by a diffuse expanse of inflammatory cells situated in submucosal tissues, composed mainly of mature plasma cells with scattered polymorphonuclear cells and lymphocytes. Immunohistochemistry for kappa, lambda light chain showed polyclonal immunoglobulin content in all cases examined. A variety of medical and surgical treatments have been tried but none has led to improvement in the condition. In this study, we report, with a review of literature, a mucous membrane plasmacytosis arising from oropharynx in a 30 year-old female patient.
