Mucocele on lower lip: A case series

Abstract: Mucocele is a common salivary gland disorder that can appear in the lacrimal sac, paranasal sinuses, oral cavity, appendix, or gall bladder. These lesions occur due to mucous accumulation resulting from the alteration of minor salivary glands. Lower lip is the most common site of occurrence of these lesions in the oral cavity and most probable cause is trauma or habit of lip biting. Diagnosis is mainly clinical due to its pathognomonic presentation. We report a case series of mucocele in children treated by co… Show more

“…7,13,17 Even though Schwannomas are not bluish in colour, a differential diagnoses of a mucocele should be included, as the colouration of a mucocele can vary depending on the lesion size, proximity to the surface and the elasticity of the overlying mucosa. 23 We recommend other differential diagnoses to include a traumatic neuroma, labial minor salivary gland tumours, traumatic fibroma, or a swelling secondary to the initial trauma and a lipoma. [16][17][18] Albeit rarely encountered, it is our recommendation that intra-oral Schwannomas be included in the differential diagnosis for asymptomatic, wellcircumscribed nodules or masses of the lower lip.…”
