The authors have studied histopathologically, based with symptoms, on 51 aged woman who treated in infirmary hospital of dental college of Seoul National University. The results are as follows: 1. Symptoms of patient were swelling of lower left mandible, gingival enlargement, ulceration and severe bleeding. 2. We observed characteristic features on the blood test such as decreased leukocytes with severe decrease of granular leuckocytes and sudden increase of lymphocytes. 3.
