An Unusual Foreign Body in Upper Lip: A Case Report

Abstract

Foreign body ingestion or insertion in oral cavity are uncommon, but can be deposited either by road traffic accident, injury or iatrogenic. Among the commonly encountered iatrogenic foreign bodies are broken instruments, needles, plastic and glass embedded pieces in soft tissues of oral cavity. In our case the foreign body is a metal piece being lodged in the upper labial mucosa accidentally, removed by sub labial approach.
