“…This fi nding is similar to those reported by Nico et al [13] and Minguez-Martinez et al [14] (83,3% and 79,8% respectively). 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.…”

“…Occurrence of superfi cial mucoceles was not seen in the present study and this fi nding concurs with previous reports [13,14]. Searching in the literature revealed a review of 27 well documented cases of superfi cial mucoceles and a report of 4 additional cases [23,24].Three of these total 31 cases of superfi cial mucoceles occurred in patients aged from 10 to 14 years and were associated graft-versus-host-disease [25].…”

“…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.…”

“…In the current study we found only one case of mucous retention cyst (0,98% of cases) in a 15-year-old adolescent and this result points to the rarity of this variant of salivary mucoceles in children and adolescents. However, previous studies did not reported the occurrence of mucous retention cysts [13,14].…”

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.
