Although plasma cell gingivitis and plasma cell cheilitis refer to the same disease, the former term is used when the gums are involved and the latter when the lips are involved. Not sure which involvement is the more common. I think the condition as a whole is pretty rare.

Searches on PubMed and Google scholar for "Plasma cell gingivitis" were 28 and 302 ; and for "Plasma cell cheilitis" 12 and 134 respectively. This does suggest that we should use the term plasma cell gingivitis as the name and use the page plasma cell cheilitis as the redirect. Lesion (talk) 19:15, 25 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
