Uncommon culprits: Foreign body grass fragments in buccal mucosa presenting as recurrent buccal abscess in a pediatric patient - a case report.

Foreign body ingestion is a common occurrence in the pediatric population, often involving the gastrointestinal tract. However, the presence of foreign bodies in the oral cavity, particularly within the buccal mucosa, is relatively rare. This case report describes an unusual presentation of a foreign body embedded in the buccal mucosa and discusses the diagnostic and management challenges associated with such cases. A 10-month-old female child with no significant previous medical history presented with recurrent buccal abscess. Following the removal of the foreign body (grass fragments), the child experienced a complete recovery.
