✦ Synopsis

A case of seroma (serrous accumulation) following extraction of teeth is reported. The diagnostic work-up, surgical treatment, and follow-up of probably the first described case in the oral cavity is presented. Seroma should be included as a very rare complication in the differential diagnosis of longstanding swelling after surgery in the oral region. HEAD & NECK SURGERY FIGURE 2.
