“…While mucus retention cysts are associated with a traumatic injury of the ductus, mucous extravasation phenomenon results from extravasation of saliva to the adjacent connective tissue spaces (9,10). In the clinical cases reported here, the histopathologic assessment indicated a mucus extravasation phenomenon to adjacent tissues, since the presence of a ductal epithelium was not observed, but a connective tissue infiltrated by mucus surrounded by some chronic inflammatory cells covered by a parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium.…”

“…Fibroma, on the other hand, is a lesion of connective tissue nature, characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts and deposition of collagen fibers in short and cluttered beams, considered by some authors as a true neoplasm (10,14). The cases shown here presented either smooth or irregular surface, sessile or pedunculated base, but all presented hard consistency to palpation, suggesting clinical diagnosis of fibroma.…”

“…It is therefore important to accomplish differential diagnosis with other intraoral lesions such as fibrous hyperplasia, focal papilloma, hemangioma, lymphangioma, or lypoma (10). Final diagnosis is provided by histopathologic analysis, although clinical aspects are characteristic of the lesion (2,11).…”

“…Usually mucocele of minor salivary glands are located on the lower lip mucosa (Cases A and C) (8,11), buccal mucosa, soft palate, and the retromolar trigone region (4,10), without predilection by gender (4,12,13). BlandinNuhn mucoceles (Case B) in the ventral portion of the tongue are less frequent (3,18).…”

Mucocele is a benign lesion occurring in the buccal mucosa as a result of the rupture of a salivary gland duct and consequent outpouring of mucin into soft tissue. It is usually caused by a local trauma, although in many cases the etiology is uncertain. Mucocele is more commonly found in children and young adults, and the most frequent site is the lower inner portion of the lips. Fibroma, on the other hand, is a benign tumor of fibrous connective tissue that can be considered a reactionary connective tissue hyperplasia in response to trauma and irritation. They usually present hard consistency, are nodular and asymptomatic, with a similar color to the mucosa, sessile base, smooth surface, located in the buccal mucosa along the line of occlusion, tongue and lip mucosa. Conventional treatment for both lesions is conservative surgical excision. Recurrence rate is low for fibroma and high for oral mucoceles. This report presents a series of cases of mucocele and fibroma treated by surgical excision or enucleation and the respective follow-up routine in the dental clinic and discusses the features to be considered in order to distinguish these lesions from each other.
