title: Traumatic pseudolipoma of the oral cavity: report of a case.
abstract: An uncommon traumatic pseudolipoma of the oral cavity is presented. In this particular case there was evidence of previous trauma to the buccal fat pad during a difficult extraction of a maxillary premolar. Evidence is presented that iatrogenic trauma resulting in foreign body introduction might produce traumatic pseudolipoma in the oral cavity. The morphology of the buccal fat pad, the possible pathogenisis of the condition, as well as the diagnostic and the management of the case are presented.
