Abstract
The present case report describes the surgical removal of mucocele in a young female patient. A thirteen year old female patient
was diagnosed clinically with mucocele of lower lip. A conventional surgical procedure was performed using scalpel and the excised
lesion was sent for histological investigation. Histological investigation revealed well circumscribed cystic spaces filled with mucous
clearly illustrating extravasation type mucocele. Complete regression of the lesion was seen with no recurrence in 6 months follow
up. Surgical excision of the lesion with the involved minor salivary gland proved to give satisfactory results.
