Abstract
We report the case of a 79-year-old female with a complex medical history, presenting with recurrent gingival swelling, progressive gingival hyperplasia, and osteonecrosis of the jaw potentially associated with tocilizumab. Oral complications developed in close proximity to diagnosis of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, complicating diagnosis and management.
