“…The diagnosis is based on clinical examination and histopathological examination of the excised tissue (8,9). Management Options includes surgical excision particularly when they persist or cause significant discomfort to the patient (10,11). The surgical procedure involves complete removal of the cystic sac while preserving adjacent structures.…”

Mucocele is a common benign lesion of the oral cavity that is usually caused by the rupture of a minor salivary gland duct. Although it can occur in any part of the oral cavity, the lower lip is the most common location. Here we present a case report of a 21-year-old male who presented with a painless swelling in the lower lip for the past 5 months. After a thorough clinical examination, a diagnosis of mucocele was confirmed. The lesion was surgically excised, and the patient was scheduled for follow up appointments to monitor his progress

“…Histologically, mucous retention and mucous extravasation phenomena for mucocele are observed depending on the presence of epithelial lining. Mucous retention phenomena prevalence is low in children due to inability of ductal structure to contain an exaggerated accumulation of secretion [7]. Extravasation mucoceles are thought to undergo three different evolutionary phases.…”

Mucocele is a clinical term that basically includes two phenomenon i.e. mucus extravasation and mucus retention. Cysts arising in connection with minor salivary glands are common and about 90 per cent of cases are of the mucous extravasation type. These lesions are typically painless, dome-shaped, and fluctuant; they appear blue in colour secondary to the presence of mucin under the mucosa. The vesicular appearance created by the superficial nature of the mucin spillage, causes a separation of the epithelium from the connective tissue. The pathologist must be aware of this lesion and should not mistake it microscopically for a vesiculo-bullous lesion, especially mucous membrane pemphigoid. Here, we present a case report on mucocele with a brief review.

“…These types are distinguished from each other based on their distinct causes and microscopic features [4]. In children, mucous retention phenomena are uncommon because their ductal structures are not typically capable of retaining excessive secretions [5]. The aim of this study was to describe a clinical case involving the complete surgical removal of a mucocele of tongue on children.…”

Introduction: Mucocele is cystic lesion that occur in oral cavity. Commonly it happens due to trauma or obstruction of minor salivary gland ducts. Certain mucoceles may heal spontaneously, while others might surgical intervention due to frequent recurrence. Mucoceles on the tongue are rare and typically occur on the underside, where the glands of Blandin and Nuhn are located. Appropriate diagnose and treatment must be chosen correctly. Case History: A 12-years old-girl presented of enlarged gum and recurrent swelling firstly noticed a month ago. Excision was done under local anesthesia using electrocautery. A clinical diagnose of mucocele was confirmed by histopathological examination. Discussion: Mucoceles on the tongue are uncommon and primarily occur on the ventral surface where the glands of Blandin and Nuhn are situated. Complete excision was done once the diagnosis was confirmed using electrocautery which have indicated that this method is faster, simpler, and causes minimal postoperative discomfort compared to conventional excision. To minimize recurrence, strategies such as removing surrounding glandular acini, excising or dissecting the lesion down to the muscle layer, and avoiding damage to adjacent glands and ducts are recommended. Conclusion: Mucoceles on the tongue are uncommon and primarily occur on the ventral. Since mucocele are asymptomatic, complete surgical excision of mucocele of tongue must followed by eliminate risk factors to prevent recurrency.
