Abstract
Oral lesions commonly diagnosed in newborns and infants include Epstein's pearls, Bohn's nodules, dental lamina cysts and congenital epulis. Nevertheless, intriguing cases which have rarely been reported in the literature are encountered by clinicians. This paper reports a case of an unusual white lesion in a 10-month-old child which resolved spontaneously. However, histological examination proved it to be a foreign body.
