Abstract

The buccal fat pad is an anatomic structure, which contributes significantly to the prominence of the newborn’s and infant’s cheek. It is probably important in the suckling mechanism. In this article a case of unusual protrusion of this structure into the oral cavity of an infant is described. Besides the two-years of follow-up, a review of the literature is presented and a differential diagnosis is outlined.
