“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Mathew et al [18] studied the prevalence of mucoceles in 0.16% of the population and the lesion was found only in males. In contrast, Cataldo and Mosadomi [19] found no gender predilection in their 594 cases examined. Pertaining to race, the lesion was more common in white people as reported by de Camargo Moraes et al [15] Nagaveni, et al…”

Objectives:The objective was to present 13 mucoceles in 13 Indian children and describe their clinical characteristics, etiology, site of occurrence, and treatment given. Methods: A retrospective study of 13 pediatric patients who reported the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, College of Dental Sciences, Davangere, India between 2012 and 2014 was carried out. The study included the clinical data like age and gender of the children, the history and chief complaints, etiology, the clinical appearance and location of mucoceles, and treatment given. Results: A total of 13 mucoceles were found in 13 patients. There was a signifi cant gender predilection (10 females, 3 males). 11 mucoceles were located in the lower lip and 2 on buccal mucosa. In majority cases, there was no defi nite cause for the occurrence. In 3 patients, history of chronic trauma from either lip or cheek biting habit was recorded and in one patient obstruction from tooth was observed. In two patients, the mucoceles were of bluish red in color and remaining cases appeared pale red in color. In two patients, the treatment done was cryosurgery, in one patient it was micro-marsupialization and in remaining 10 patients, surgical excision was carried out. Conclusions: Mucoceles when it occurs most commonly aff ects the lower lip with chronic trauma being the most common etiology. As various treatment modalities are available for the management of this lesion knowledge about this is highly essential for well-being of the child patient.

“…The incidence of mucous retention cysts in general population ranges from 2,8% to 16,6% [12,17,19]. They occur most prevalent in patients older than 20 years and most often are located on the fl oor of the mouth, buccal mucosa, and palate [1,12,21,22]. 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.…”

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.

Concurrent Occurrence of Mucocele and Pyogenic Granuloma

et al. 2011

A mucocele is a common, benign lesion of the oral cavity that develops following the extravasation or retention of mucous from a major or minor salivary gland. A pyogenic granuloma (PG) is also a common, benign condition characterized by proliferating capillaries that affect the skin and mucous membranes. The concurrent occurrence of a mucocele and a PG lesion has rarely been reported in the medical literature. This case study reports such a finding in a 16-year-old patient who presented to our department.
