We report a rare case of intraoral foreign bodies.
A 61 year-old woman felt pain in the oral cavity immediately after eating fresh squid and visited our hospital.
We diagnosed as intraorl foreign bodies on examinations, since many white spindle shaped foreign bodies were observed in her oral cavity. We removed these foreign bodies with perimucosal tissue using forceps. The microscopic examination revealed the foreign bodies were the sperm bulb of the fresh squid.
We emphasized that fresh squid should be eaten with care.
