Abstrakt: Gingiva from a 3‐year‐old iranian boysuffering from Papillon‐Lefèvre syndrome was examined by light and electron microscopy. Deep pockets associated with predominantly Gram‐negative plaque were present. The gingival lesion was dominated by plasma cells, many of which were degenerate. Russell bodies were a prominent feature. No defect of epithelium was detected.
