“…The presence of foreign bodies in the oral mucosa is considered rare although some materials such as buttons, wood, an artificial nail, anesthetic needles, grill cleaner bristle, a fingernail and even dental toothbrushes have been reported [5][6][7][8][9][10]14].…”

“…Foreign bodies are usually found in the oral mucosa due to accidental implantation or to iatrogenic causes [8,11,12]. The main clinical aspect of a foreign-body reaction consists of ulcerated and nodular reactive lesions that may affect any site of the oral mucosa of young and elderly patients.…”

“…Many materials have already been described such as suture material [1], abrasives and restorative materials [2], denture teeth [3,4], broken anesthetic needles [5] and toothbrush bristle [6]. More atypical reported cases describe wooden fragments [7,8], grill cleaner bristle [9], an artificial nail and a plastic teddy bear nose [10]. Some materials are uncommon and of an unknown origin, making the final diagnosis difficult [11][12][13].…”

This study reports three interesting cases of nodular submucosal lip lesions where foreign-body reactions of unknown origin were detected on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) analysis. These materials were evaluated under polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The results revealed the following materials: an interdental toothbrush bristle, silica, and iron. Unusual mucosal foreign body reaction cases have been reported, but few publications used special techniques to identify the specific foreign material. Clinicians and pathologists might consider these techniques for identifying the precise origin of these foreign bodies.

“…The most common objects recorded include shells, wooden piece, screw caps, coins, and false fingernails. [5,6,7] A suction effect can easily affix these concave objects to the mucosa. Additional behavioral factors such as thumb sucking can serve to enhance the attachment.…”

Foreign bodies impacted in the soft palate are very rare. When they occur, it is the infants and children that are affected most. It is very difficult to diagnose them unless a careful and good history is taken. Most of them are diagnosed on the operating table when posted for examination under anaesthesia. Here, we present a case of long standing foreign body of soft palate of nearly one month duration. A brief literature review is also presented.

“…Most frequently reported foreign body has been a nutshelll [1,3]. Wooden piece [4], artificial finger nail [5] embedded as foreign bodies in palate have also been reported. These lesions present as a diagnostic dilemma as differentiating them from more sinister pathologies like neoplasms and granulomatous lesions can be at times difficult.…”
