An unusual case report of gingival overgrowth associated with the use of leflunomide.
Leflunomide is an immunomodulatory agent with antiproliferative activity that is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Leflunomide induced side effects are hepatotoxicity, immunosuppression, skin reactions, peripheral neuropathy, hypertension, diarrhea, interstitial lung disease, and rarely oral mucosal lesions. Here, we presented an unusual case of gingival overgrowth associated with the use of leflunomide, which improved after ceasing the drug.
