Abstract

Mucocele is a common lesion of the oral mucosa that results from an alteration of minor salivary glands due to the accumulation of mucus, leading to limited swelling. There are two histological types: extravasation and retention. Clinically, mucoceles appear as soft, bluish, and transparent cystic swellings. The lower lip is the most common site for these lesions in the oral cavity, and the most probable cause is trauma or a habit of lip biting. Diagnosis is mainly clinical due to the lesion's pathognomonic presentation. Here, we report a case of mucocele in an 8-year-old boy treated with conventional surgical excision.
