Tóm tắt

Localized juvenile spongiotic gingival hyperplasia (LJSGH) is a gingival lesion with unique clinicopathologic features that may involve synchronously multiple sites. We present a case with lesions clinically consistent with LJSGH in four jaw quadrants, confirmed by biopsy and review the English literature on multifocal LJSGH cases. A 19 year-old woman presented with circumscribed, erythematous overgrowths on the right and left maxillary and mandibular gingiva. With the provisional diagnosis of multifocal LJSGH, total excision of four maxillary lesions was performed. Clinical, microscopic and immunohistochemical examination with cytokeratin 19 confirmed the diagnosis of LJSGH in multiple sites. The excised lesions showed partial to complete recurrence after 4 months, while spontaneous regression of all but one lesion was observed after 15 months. Twenty cases with synchronous involvement of the gingiva of at least two teeth were previously reported. Their clinical features were comparable to that of solitary LJSGH. Only one case involved all four jaw quadrants. Spontaneous remission has not been documented before. The recognition of multiple lesions with clinicopathologic features diagnostic of LJSGH in the same adult patient argue against the designations “localized” and “juvenile”. Recurrences are common, while remission might occur.
