Unusual foreign body in the buccal mucosa: A case report.
Background: Intraoral honeybee stings are very rare. Stings by these insects occur 25% of the time in the head and neck region. In addition, a stinger intraorally can lead to persistent irritation, inflammation, and secondary infections if not promptly excised.
Case summary: We report the case of a 52-year-old female patient who was stung in her mouth by a honeybee, causing a local irritation. The patient presented with a one-month history of pain, swelling, and redness in the left buccal mucosa. Inadvertently retained, the stinger was discovered during a clinical evaluation following initial treatment for facial swelling and erythema. After the stinger was removed, the patient's symptoms resolved without complications.
Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of thorough examination and prompt management of insect stings to prevent prolonged discomfort and potential complications.
