title: [Foreign body in the submandibular gland: a tooth extraction complication].
abstract: The head and neck region includes many vital anatomic structures. So, diseases of this region may have a more morbid and mortal course compared to other anatomic regions. In this article, we report a patient showing various symptoms due to a suture needle which was left in the surgical region during the extraction of the left inferior molar tooth three years ago.
