Description
Summary:A case report of the clinical features and follow-up of an unusual case of a three-day-old baby boy with bilateral protrusion of the buccal pad of fat into the oral cavity. A follow-up of two years is also presented here. No history of trauma was reported. The swellings gradually decreased in size and finally disappeared by the age of 22 months. Hence, the clinician should be aware about this self-limiting and self-disappearing developmental anomaly.
