title: A case report of an unusual mandibular swelling in a 4-year-old child possibly caused by a jellyfish sting.
abstract: Animal bites and stings may not figure highly in the differential diagnosis of facial swelling in the United Kingdom but should be considered in those who have been in a tropical area. This case report documents details of the presentation and investigation of a case of jellyfish sting that appeared as a facial swelling in a 4-year-old girl who had recently been on holiday in Greece. The report emphasizes the requirement to consider unusual aetiological factors in cases of facial swelling.
