“…In one study, 36 mucoceles were removed using cryosurgery and only 2 lesions reappeared (5.6%) (17). Some authors have also suggested using intralesional steroid injections (18). CO2 laser has a high water absorption rate and is well absorbed by all soft tissues with high water content.…”

Mucocele is a common lesion of the oral mucosa that results from an alteration of minor salivary glands due to a mucous accumulation. Mucocele involves mucin accumulation causing limited swelling. Two histological types exist -extravasation and retention. Mucoceles can appear at any site of the oral mucosa where minor salivary glands are present. Diagnosis is principally clinical; therefore, the anamnesis should be carried out correctly, looking for previous trauma. The most common location of the extravasation mucocele is the lower lip, while retention mucoceles can be found at any other site. Mucoceles can affect the general population, but most commonly young patients (20-30 years old). Clinically they consist of a soft, bluish and transparent cystic swelling which normally resolves spontaneously. Treatment frequently involves surgical removal. Never-theless micro marsupialization, cryosurgery, steroid injections and CO2 laser are also described. Mucocele is a common lesion and affects the general population. For this reason we felt it would be interesting review the clinical characteristics of mucoceles, and their treatment and evolution in order to aid decision-making in daily clinical practice.

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.

“…According to the authors' experience, in such cases, it is better to change the procedure into marsupialization. In order to decrease the possibility of such a situation, it is possible to fill the cyst lumen with silicone before treatment [15]. …”

“…Using this method is efficient and safe in the treatment of mucoceles in the front part of the tongue as cysts with very thin walls, laying on the surface under mucous membrane tend to easily fracture and can relapse if complete myomectomy is not undertaken [15].…”
