Abstract

Midline palatal swelling in children is exceptionally rare. Periodontal abscess from palatal pockets and apical abscess of palatal roots of maxillary posterior teeth are source of palatal abscesses. The palatal abscess is often observed in premolar-molar region showing fluctuant mass or swelling, commonly lateral to midline. We report a rare case of a palatal swelling in the midline, in a 10 year old female patient.
