“…The presence of foreign bodies in the maxillofacial area might entail risks for the patient, especially in cases where blood vessels of large caliber are involved and the resulting bleeding might lead to progressively severe situations; also, the close contact of these bodies with important structures such as nerves and salivary glands may result in a number of problems [4][5][6][7][8][9]. The list of objects described in literature includes sharp wooden sticks, screwdrivers, nails, iron bars, spears, knives, ice picks, umbrella handles, harpoons, fishing hooks, keys, drills, needles, forks, metal fragments, toys and pencils.…”

Although injuries with the presence of foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region are relatively common in urgency and emergency services, they still pose a diagnostic challenge that is related to several factors, such as type of trauma, foreign body material, patient's level of consciousness and anatomical site involved. A third of foreign bodies in the face are not detected upon initial examination and may remain in deep tissues until they are accidentally encountered by imaging tests for other purposes or until the patient shows symptoms such as pain or swelling. This article reports a case of a 9 cm piece of wood extracted from a patient's middle third region of the left midface after 30 days of trauma occurrence, with associated infection suggesting a clinical picture of neoplasia.Key words: Foreign Body; Infeccion; Maxillary Um corpo estranho de madeira incomum na face: relato de caso ResUmoApesar dos ferimentos com a presença de corpos estranhos na região maxilofacial serem relativamente comuns nos serviços de urgência e emergência, eles ainda representam um desafio diagnóstico devido a fatores como: tipo de trauma, tipo de material do corpo estranho, localização anatômica e nível de consciência do paciente. Um terço dos corpos estranhos presentes na face não são detectados no exame inicial e permanecem nos tecidos profundos até que sejam detectados, acidentalmente, através de exames de imagem realizados para outros fins, ou no momento em que o paciente apresenta sintomatologia como dor e/ou edema. O presente artigo relata o caso da remoção de um pedaço de madeira de 9cm do terço médio da face esquerda do paciente, com infecção associada e imagem sugestiva de neoplasia, 30 dias após o acidente.

“…The majority of reported cases of injuries from needlefish ( Figure 1) have been in Oceania, particularly the New Caledonian lagoon region (3,4). Scattered reports worldwide have come from Hawaii, India, Israel, and the Red Sea, as well as the American and European Atlantic coasts (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). The injuries can be critical or even fatal (5).…”
