Clinical Case Report on Oral Mucocele: Presentation, Diagnosis, and Management
Dr. Sanija Sundaresan
Abstract: Mucocele is one of the most common salivary gland disorders and can occur in various locations, including the oral cavity, gallbladder, appendix, lacrimal sac, or paranasal sinuses. These lesions typically arise from the accumulation of mucus, often triggered by trauma, habitual lip - biting, or dysfunction of the minor salivary glands. While mucoceles can appear anywhere in the oral cavity, the lower lip is the most common site of occurrence. They can affect individuals of all age groups but are most frequently observed in younger patients, with no gender predilection. This report discusses a case involving a young adult with a mucocele of the lower lip, its clinical presentation, surgical management, and histopathological findings. The case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment to prevent recurrence.
