Gingival hyperplasia is a common early sign of leukemia that results from infiltration of the gingival tissue by immature white blood cells. This case report describes a patient who presented with generalized gingival enlargement who was diagnosed with acute myelomonocytic leukemia (M4), a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia known to commonly cause gingival hyperplasia. The report aims to highlight gingival hyperplasia as a characteristic presentation of this form of leukemia.

Abstract
Gingival enlargement is often and early findings in leukemia. Leukemic
enlargement may be diffuse or marginal, localized or generalized. Histological study of this type shows that the gingival tissue are packed with immature leukocytes with specific type depending on nature of the leukemia Gingival hyperplasia is a presenting feature of acute leukemia’s, which occur secondary to infiltration of the gingival tissue with leukemia cells. Gingival hyperplasia is most commonly seen with the AML subtypes acute monocytic leukemia (M5) (66.7%), acute myelomonocytic leukemia (M4) (18.5%).
This paper focuses on a characteristic presentation of
gingival hyperplasia in a patient with acute myelomonocytic leukemia.
