| Abstrakt: | Rationale: Complications arising from the extraction of an over-retained deciduous tooth root are an extremely rare event in a dental office, just like liver clots post-extraction of teeth. Patient Concern: The patient reported to the department on the third post-operative day following extraction of a deciduous root stump, complaining of swelling with respect to the extraction site and inability to open his mouth completely. Diagnosis: An unusual presentation of a 'currant blood clot' also commonly known as 'liver clot' was noted in the extraction site. Treatment: An excisional biopsy of the mass was done under local anaesthesia and the sample was sent for histopathological analysis. Suspecting an underlying haematological condition, the patient was further referred to the Department of General Medicine at the institute for opinion and further investigations. Outcome: The blood investigations and subsequent peripheral blood smear analysis and bone marrow aspirate biopsy confirmed that the patient was a case of undiagnosed chronic myeloid leukaemia in the chronic phase. Take-Away Lessons: Proper knowledge of possible complications and the reasons behind the same can prove beneficial for the overall health of the patient. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest. (Copyright: © 2023 Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery.) |
