Abstract

We report the case of a 16-year-old female who presented to us with a recurrent cheek abscess following a blow to the cheek. On drainage of the abscess, a piece of betel nut was retrieved from the cheek. The patient recalled having a betel nut in her mouth at the time of the blow.

Keywords
