[Clinical study and denominate of traumatic herniation of corpus adiposum buccae].
OBJECTIVE
To deepen the recognition, and provide the evidence for rational name of traumatic herniation of corpus adiposum buccae.


METHODS
10 clinical cases of traumatic herniation of corpus adiposum buccae were studied. Simulat experiment on 6 fresh corpses (12 sides) were performed dissected immediately after bump (hitting) type and stab (thrusting) type of herniation of corpus adiposum buccae.


RESULTS
In one side bump type and 5 sides stab type successful experiments, the buccal protuberance of masticatory fat pads (namely corpus adiposum beccae) were herniated into the mouth, with the shape, size, and position simulated with the herniated tissue of the clinical case.


CONCLUSIONS
The herniated tissue of clinical case is the corpus adiposum buccae but not the buccal fat pad, and the rational name should be traumatic herniation of corpus adiposum buccae.
