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.

Keywords: Oral mucocele; diagnosis; excision; minor salivary gland
