A rare case of marble being impacted in buccal mucosa is presented. A 25 mm by 25 mm sized marble was found impacted in the buccal space of a 9-year-old male child preoperatively. The boy was originally suspected for a benign swelling and planned for the excisional biopsy under general anesthesia. The case presentation and management of the case are discussed here.
