Popis: It is difficult to identify foreign bodies by simple X-ray, CT, and MRI examination if the foreign body is radiolucent or resides in a deep region.In this paper, we describe a patient with a foreign body (an ear of rice) in the left submandibular gland. Differentiation of the foreign body from simple inflammatory or tumorous lesions was difficult owing to the rare clinical characteristics of this case.
