Popis: The buccal fat pad represents a specialized type of tissue that is distinct from subcutaneous fat. Its primary function is to serve as a cushioning tissue and as a sucking pad. In this case report, we present an interesting lesion and its management, wherein a tiny traumatic perforation of the buccal mucosa caused a large portion of the buccal fat pad to extrude into the oral cavity.
