... When this mucocele is situated on the floor of the mouth, it resembles the underbelly of a frog and is hence referred to as a ranula. 5 Mucoceles are often asymptomatic, although they can occasionally cause discomfort by interfering with speaking, chewing, or swallowing. Surgical excision, marsupialization, micromarsupialization, cryosurgery, laser vaporization, and laser excision are all treatment possibilities. 2 This article describes a recurrence case report of mucocele on lower lip treated by surgical excision method using scalpel blade. ...
A mucocele is a tiny, fluid-filled cyst within the mouth. A blockage or damage to the salivary gland is the most prevalent cause. A mucocele is formed when saliva pools due to a blockage or damage within the salivary gland. Biting the lip, cheek, or other parts of the mouth can cause a mucocele to develop. Its management may be difficult for dental practitioners. The purpose of this clinical case report was to discuss mucocele therapy using traditional methods, as well as the benefits and reasons of recurrence.
... Mucoceles of the lower lip minor salivary glands are very common. 303 cases in 15 articles is reviewed using pubmed, Google Scholar and Medline Database using "mucocele of lower lip" as the keyword (Table 1.) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. In this case the patient was a male patient with mucocele on the left lower aspect. ...
... [4] Regarding overall recurrence rates, in one study, 70 mucoceles were surgically removed from the lower lip, and two lesions reappeared. [9,10] ...
Mucoceles are benign, mucus containing cystic lesions of the minor salivary glands. These are formed when the main duct of a minor salivary gland is torn with subsequent extravasation of the mucus into the fibrous connective tissue so that a cyst like cavity is produced. Trauma is the frequent cause of mucocele. Mucoceles are known to occur most commonly on the lower lip, followed by the floor of the mouth and buccal mucosa being the next most frequent sites. Here we report a case of mucocele of the lower lip, which was diagnosed as mucocele and was excised under local anesthesia with no postoperative complications.
... It can arise from an alteration of minor salivary glands due to a mucous accumulation .they can present as vesicle or blister in the superficial mucosa filled with fluid or as a fluctuant nodule deep within the connective tissue 6 . The incidence of mucoceles is 2.5 lesions per 1000 patients, with no age predilection and occurs frequently in the second decade of life. ...
Introduction: Mucoceles are described as asymptomatic benign soft tissue masses of the oral cavity. They are soft, smooth, spherical, translucent and fluctuant in the clinical appearance. The most common site of the mucocele is the interior surface of the lower lip followed by the tongue, floor of mouth (ranula), and the buccal mucosa.
Case Reports: This is a case of a 2-year-old girl referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Shahid Beheshti University of medical sciences with a soft tissue swelling on the lower lip appeared at birth. Typical clinical signs and features along with pathology report lead to the diagnosis of a mucocele. Surgical excision was carried out as the treatment of choice with the histopathological sample being provided for the lab. A spilled mucin surrounded by fibrovascular connective tissue was the lab report. Soft tissue healing of the surgical site was observed with no scaring in a week follow up.
Conclusion: Clinical signs and histopathological report were indicative of a mucocele.
