Abstract: 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. It is the most common minor (accessory) salivary gland lesion affecting the general population. Minor salivary glands are found in most parts of the oral cavity except the gingiva. The prevalence of mucocele is 2.5 lesions per 1000 population in America, 0.11% in Sweden and 0.08% in Brazil.
