Core Tip
Core Tip: Medullary aplasia is a marrow failure characterized by a total or partial disappearance of hematopoietic precursors in bone marrow, resulting in pancytopenia which is usually accompanied by hemorrhagic syndrome. The treatment involves immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporine. This drug suppresses the activity of immune cells that damage the bone marrow, although it may produce an inflammatory reaction, with increased fibrotic response in the extracellular matrix, and gingival enlargement (GE). We report a case of GE induced by cyclosporine in a patient with rare medullary aplasia, which was managed with a phased periodontal treatment plan.
