Obstructive sialadenitis of submandibular gland is commonly due to sialoliths and strictures in the Wharton's duct. Other endogenous pathologies include mucous plugs and polyps. Foreign bodies of Wharton's duct and submandibular gland are rare. Retrograde migration of foreign bodies via ductal orifice, traversing the ductal system to its final intraglandular location is an even rare entity. These often present with painful swelling of the gland and at times with a purulent sialitis. Diagnostic modalities include plain radiography, ultrasonography, sialography, as well as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment includes antibiotics, incision and drainage of abscess, and removal of foreign body either surgically (intra-oral approach or sialadenectomy) or more recently via sialoendoscopy. This is a case report of 30 years male with accidental cannulation of Wharton's duct with grass that eventually got lodged in the deep lobe of the gland, and was managed with sialadenectomy.
