Abstract

Herniation of the buccal fat pad in pediatric patients is a rare injury, occurring due to a breach in the buccinator muscle, often termed traumatic pseudolipoma in infants. This condition plays a crucial role in cheek contour in adults. Two case reports detailing the management of this rare injury in young children emphasize the importance of assessing mucosal perforation and considering previous trauma history for accurate diagnosis. These reports provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals, contributing to the understanding and management of uncommon medical conditions.
