title: Foreign body in submandibular region.
abstract: We present a case of 34 years old male harboring a rare foreign body at an unusual abode with untoward consequences, after a motorbike accident. This resulted in lodging of a broken piece of aluminum alloy clutch lever, in the right submandibular region, with rounded blunt end medially deep in the region, abutting the Wharton's duct. Mechanism of injury, delayed consequences and management are discussed.
