Abstract

Oral #mucosal hematomas are very rare, and important for respiratory, speech, and swallowing functions. A thirty-four-year-old male patient, who has been suffering from sudden onset sense of swelling and mild pain in his throat. A mild bulging on the left #peritonsillar region with echimotic appearance was extending from left side to the medial of right soft palate and the uvula. Computed tomography revealed a #haemorrhagic exudative content, approximately 3*2.5*3 cm in size. After infiltration #anaesthesia, fine needle aspiration was performed. 3ml pure haemorrhagic material was obtained, and followingly haematoma was completely drained by the incision on the peritonsillar region. In peritonsillar region #pathologies, hematoma should be kept in mind for the differential diagnosis of peritonsillar abscess. Hematoma is a collection of blood outside from the vessels under the skin and in the tissue cavities and is often associated with #traumatic causes such as bump, fall, injury or surgery. It can occur more easily due to hematologic disease and anticoagulant drug usage. Oral mucosal hematomas are very rare, and important for respiratory, speech, and swallowing functions [1]. Herein, we aimed to present a case of #hematoma originating from an uncommon location.
