A 48-year-old woman went to the hospital complaining of fatigue and painful, swollen gums that were all white. She had been experiencing these symptoms for around a week before coming to the hospital. It was found that her white cell count was 225,000 per cubic millimeter. (For reference, a normal white cell count per cubic millimeter is 3,300 to 8,700) Doctors found that she was in fact suffering with leukemic infiltration of the gingiva. Gingival infiltration by leukemic cells may be a sign of acute myeloid leukemia. The patient was initiated on treatment with chemotherapy. Her gingival swelling improved, and her leukemia went into remission.
This can be a case of precancerous lesion called Leukoplakia/acid burnt/chemical irritation the clinical examination and or medical and dental history could be very helpful for the proper diagnosis of the case.
