Leukemia is a malignant neoplasm resulting from proliferation of abnormal haemopoietic stem cells with uncoordinated differentiation, regulation and apoptosis. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in childhood and more frequently in males. Oral lesions may be the presenting feature of acute leukemias and are therefore important diagnostic indicators of the disease. It frequently involves gingiva and alveolar bones. Gingival overgrowth has several causes, including poor oral hygiene, drugs, systemic illnesses and neoplastic conditions. Here we are presenting a case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with facial swelling and gingival enlargement mimicking dental infection along a brief discussion regarding ALL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
