Intraoral herniation of the buccal fat pad is traumatic lesion of oral cavity occurring in young children. It frequently presents as an expanding pedunculated mass of soft tissue emanating from the buccal mucosa following a minor trauma to the buccal soft tissues. This article aims to report an interesting and rare lesion, wherein a tiny traumatic perforation of the buccal mucosa and buccinator muscle forced a large portion of the buccal fat pad to extrude into the oral cavity in a young boy. Such a situation can alarm any clinician and reinforces the importance of careful history taking and thorough examination, before treating patients.

“…8 Tumors such as lipoma, traumatic fibroma (inflammatory hyperplasia) salivary neoplasm hemangioma forms the differential diagnosis. 2 However, the history of trauma, absence of prolapse before the injury, its occurrence in infants and young children, specific anatomic sites, adipose appearance, locating the perforation from where the mass is arising and the histopathology, are the characteristic features important for diagnosing the condition. As for the treatment, an alternative to excision is to reposition the herniated buccal fat pad to its anatomic position at the earliest, before a large portion is allowed to extrude, followed by primary closure.…”

“…It is prominent in neonates and infants and is often referred to as the "Sucking/Suctorial" pad. 1,2 The buccal fat represents a specialized type of tissue that is distinct from subcutaneous fat. It serves to line the masticatory space, separating the muscles of mastication from each other, from the zygomatic arch, and from the ramus of the mandible.…”

Maxillofacial injuries in the paediatric age group is common and traumatic herniation of buccal fat pad represents one of the few sequel to facial injuries which can easily be missed during primary or secondary survey in the emergency department, especially in young patients. The uncommon occurrence and thus lack of knowledge, often alarms the parents and/or attending physian alike with the presence of a tumor like lesion within the oral cavity in the post-traumatic period. The following case report describes one such incidence of traumatic extrusion of the buccal fat pad into the oral cavity while addressing the need to reinforce the practice of thorough clinical examination before managing any patient.

We present an uncommon case of traumatic pseudolipoma in a 24-year-old female, causing facial asymmetry. Literature review suggests trauma as a possible etiology for its pathogenesis, which was present in this case. Microscopically, sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between normal adipose tissue and lipoma. Clinician must provide accurate clinical information in order to make a definitive diagnosis of traumatic pseudolipoma. Its pathogenesis has also been highlighted in this article.
