“…Clinical features and history of the lesion are the most important aspects when trying to diagnose these lesions. History of trauma or oral habits should be explored as these are common aetiological factors for mucoceles (Nagar et al, 2021). Mucoceles also have a tendency to rupture and cause a leak of cystic fluid causing the lesion to shrink in size (Hayashida et al, 2010).…”

“…Mucoceles also have a tendency to rupture and cause a leak of cystic fluid causing the lesion to shrink in size (Hayashida et al, 2010). Most often, due to the presence of an epithelial lining, recurrence might occur as the lesion gets refilled and increases in size again (Nagar et al, 2021).…”

“…For retention type, a cyst cavity which is generally well defined with an epithelial wall covered with a row of cuboidal or flat cells produced from the excretory duct of the salivary glands can be found (Bahadure et al, 2012). They show no inflammatory reaction and are true cysts with an epithelial lining (Nagar et al, 2021). Extravasation types are pseudocysts without defined walls.…”

“…Surgical excision of the mucocele along with the associated minor salivary gland is carried out when the lesion is symptomatic or causes patient discomfort (Nagar et al, 2021). After appropriate removal, the chances of recurrence are quite low (Grover, 2020).…”

“…After appropriate removal, the chances of recurrence are quite low (Grover, 2020). Although surgery is widely preferred, it has several disadvantages such as lip disfigurement and damage to adjacent ducts with further development of satellite lesions (Nagar et al, 2021;Khandelwal & Patil., 2012) Marsupialization is conducted when the lesion is quite extensive as it prevents a significant amount of tissue loss and also reduces the risk of complications occurring as a result of surgical excision (Grover, 2020). This has certain advantages such as shorter surgical time and shorter post-operative healing period (Bodner et al, 2015).…”

Mucocele is a common pathological lesion in the oral cavity occurring due to obstruction of the salivary gland. The diagnosis is mainly clinical due to its pathognomonic presentation, but it has to be confirmed with histopathological analysis for a definitive diagnosis. A 12-year-old boy went to the Paediatric dental specialist clinic with a chief complaint of a swelling on the left side of the lower lip for about seven months. The aetiological factor was due to trauma secondary to malalignment of an upper canine. The definitive diagnosis was confirmed histologically. The treatment involved surgical resection of the affected tissue, and no recurrence was observed after the surgical procedure. Mucocele is a common soft tissue lesion in the oral cavity and can be successfully resolved via a conventional surgical approach.

Despite being common pathological entities found in the oral cavity, oral mucoceles can present distinct features, raising several diagnostic possibilities and treatments. In this study, we report the case of a 34-year-old man with an asymptomatic increased volume in the left periorbital region of more than a year, without remission or associated trauma. An aspiration biopsy was performed, followed by an excisional biopsy, and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination. Results led to the diagnosis of an oral mucocele. Surgical removal was performed in an excisional biopsy. Subsequently, the patient recovered promptly without further complications. Although oral mucoceles recur relatively often, its prognosis is good. This case emphasizes the importance of obtaining a detailed disease history, knowledge of its clinical features, and etiopathogenesis combined with complementary examinations to establish diagnostic hypotheses and converge on an adequate and individualized treatment plan
