“…Foreign bodies in a mobile tongue are rare, as such bodies are commonly lodged superficially and are easily removed by either the patients themselves or general practitioners (1). However, lacerations to the tongue are common due to injuries from a bite or a foreign body (3).…”

Injuries caused by projectiles from firearms involve diverse patterns of dentoalveolar trauma due to the different types of wound and extent of tissue damage. This article reports two cases in which tooth fragments were embedded in the tongue following aggression from a firearm projectile in the facial region. Radiographs confirmed the presence of foreign bodies, which were surgically removed under local anesthesia. When dentoalveolar trauma occurs in facial injuries, both hard and soft tissues must be carefully examined to avoid overlooking embedded tooth fragments not located immediately in the soft tissue.

“…Foreign bodies in the tongue are not common. A number of studies have reported foreign bodies such as fish bones (1), incisor fragments (2)(3)(4), broken tooth fragments (3,(5)(6)(7)(8), fragments of a tobacco pipe (9), broken bur (10), a metallic fragment from an umbrella (11), and firearm projectiles (12).…”

“…Neuropathic pain felt in the distribution of a nerve or nerves which is induced by the presence of a foreign body is called the foreign body neuralgia. Traumatic implantations have been published with different objects like the fish bone [2], tooth, or metallic restorations [3]. There are multiple causes of foreign body entrapment.…”

Neuropathic pain is caused by neural injury or painful states associated with either peripheral or central nerve injury. One of the aetiologies of this type of pain is iatrogenic trauma. This case highlights the features of peripheral neuropathic pain caused by foreign body left in the mental foramen following a previous surgical procedure. The foreign body was detected on routine radiographic evaluation. Once the foreign body was removed by surgical intervention, the pain resolved. This stresses the importance of routine radiographic evaluation in proper diagnosis and treatment planning in the management of neuropathic pain. This paper also sheds light on the role of iatrogenic mechanical cause of peripheral neuropathic pain and warrants a tough degree of caution on the part of oral clinicians.

“…Foreign bodies including fish bones in the upper aerodigestive tract represent a common otolaryngologic emergency 1,2 . In general, fish bones are the most common impacted foreign bodies in otolaryngology, being found mostly in the tonsil, soft palate, tongue base, vallecula, posterior pharyngeal wall and upper esophagus 3 .…”

Foreign body granuloma in the submental region due to fish bone: a case report

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of this article was to describe the clinical and microscopic features of a foreign‐body granuloma in submental region that resulted from a fish bone embedded in the floor of mouth. A 45‐year‐old female patient complained of a hard mass in submental region. Clinical examination showed a non‐compressible, firm, fixed lump, painless on palpation. Ultrasound examination showed an internally uneven, uncircumscribed, hypoechoic mass with a steaky hyperechoic spot of 1.1 cm length in the center. A microscopic examination showed newly‐formed granuloma, composed of lympocytes and epithelioid cells, and some microabscess with neurophiles. The final diagnosis was a foreign‐body granuloma with fish bone. Even though foreign‐body granulomas in submental region are rare lesions, surgeon should be familiar with their features and include them in the differential diagnosis of tissue masses.
