“…Large series reported that salivary mucoceles represent 16%-17,2/% of all oral and maxillofacial lesions in pediatric patients [15,16] . Our results showed prevalence (65,68%) in patients aged from 11 to 17 years and are in agreement with previous studies [17,18,19] . Whereas 34,31% of our patients were under the age of 10 years and this fi nding may have some importance in preparing these patients for surgery: younger patients may require additional measures in terms of management/approach, anesthesia and sedation.…”

“…According to the literature [1,13,14,19] salivary mucoceles show female predominance whereas in our study was found a very weak male predilection. However, Jani et al [18] reported a slight male predominance (1:1,2) which is very near to our fi nding. Salivary mucoceles can appear at any site of the oral mucosa where salivary glands are present.…”

“…Although local trauma is considered to be the main etiological factor of extravasation mucoceles, in the present study we found very few patients (12,74%) with confi rmed history of trauma. The most frequent occurrence of extravasation mucocles in the lower labial mucosa in patients aged from 11 to 17 years, seen in our study, possibly is due to the development of lip habit as reaction to psychological/ emotional stress [18]. Mucoceles arising on the ventral surface of the tongue are known as mucocele of the glands of BlandinNuhn.…”

Background: Mucoceles are cavities fi lled with mucous and often occur in the oral mucosa. When they develop in children may cause diagnostic and management concerns. Objectives:The aim of the present study was to examine retrospectively the clinical and pathological features of salivary mucoceles in children and adolescents.Methods: 102 cases of salivary mucoceles in children and adolescents aged from 1 to 17 years were retrieved from our archives and examined for their clinical and histological features and frequency of recurrence. All cases were treated surgically under local anesthesia.Results: Salivary mucoceles most often occurred in patients aged from 11 to 17 years (65,68%) with very weak male predominance (1,04/1). They were located most frequently in lower labial mucosa (87,25%). The incidence of extravasation mucoceles and mucous retention cysts were 99, 01% and 0,98% respectively. Confi rmed history of local trauma and recurrence of the lesions were found 12,74% and 3,92% respectively. Histologically, 77.22% of cases of extravasation mucoceles were well-defi ned cysts surrounded by a capsule of granulation tissue and 22.77% granulation tissue intermixed with mucous. There was not relationship between the duration and histology of the mucous extravasation mucoceles. Conclusions:Possibly, unnoticed local trauma and/or biting habit are the main etiological factors for the most frequent occurrence of extravasation mucoceles in the lower labial mucosa. The occurrence of mucous retention cysts and superfi cial mucoceles in children is very rare.

“…Mucoceles are most often encountered in children and young adults, and the mucosal surface of the lower lip is the favoured site, followed by buccal mucosa, the floor of the mouth, tongue and palate (13,18). In our study, we found that the mucocele is common in males, mostly in a younger age group as 2 nd to 3 rd decade and that the lower labial mucosa is the most common site.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cryosurgery on 134 different benign oral lesions in 90 patients. All lesions were treated every 2 weeks until complete regression of the lesion had been achieved. Patients were examined at 2, 7, and 10 days, 2 and 4 weeks, and 3 and 6 months after the cryosurgery. The relationship between the number of cryosurgery applications to achieve complete regression and the type oflesions was assessed for statistical significance by one-way analysis of variance and with the Scheffe test. The mean application number of the cryosurgery was 1.82±0.49 for fibroma, 2.35±1.44 for vascular lesions, 1.50±0.70 for mucocele, 2.65±1.18 for lichen planus lesions. The difference between the type of the lesion and number of application was statistically significant for all groups (p< 0.05). Our data prove that a significantly fewer number of cryosurgery treatments are required to achieve complete regression for fibroma and mucocele lesions compared to lichen planus lesions. During the follow-up period, only 7 lichen planus lesions of 76 lesions recurred.

Oral mucocele appears bluish if they are superfi cial. The appearance is similar to that of normal mucosa if it is deep. Mucocele appearing whitish is rare. The probable cause for the whitish appearance could be an underlying fi brosis due to chronic and repeated trauma. This case report intends to present an unusual appearance of mucocele of lower lip. Mucoceles are cavities fi lled in with mucus and lined by epithelium. Clinically, there are two types of mucocele namely retention and extravasation. Trauma is the frequent cause of mucocele. The clinical presentation of each of these types of mucocele is diff erent depending whether it is retention or extravasation. A 23-year-old man reported with recurrent swelling in the lower labial mucosa. Examination revealed a solitary, whitish appearing, non-fl uctuant swelling which was soft in consistency and non-tender. Based on the clinical and histopathological fi ndings, a diagnosis of extravasation mucocele was given. Although mucoceles appear as either bluish or similar to the colour normal mucosa, this case presents an atypical appearance of whitish appearing mucocele.
