Abstract Background: Foreign bodies adherent to the hard palate often mimic oral lesions. Case report: A 10-month-old female infant presented with the sudden development of a hard palate lesion. With photography and visualization, the “lesion” was a false nail, which belonged to the child’s caregiver. Discussion/conclusion: The differential diagnosis of palatal lesions in infants should include foreign bodies, and if identified as such, evaluation under anesthesia may be avoided.
