Abstract
Mucoceles are lesions of the oral cavity caused by salivary retention or extravasation from the minor salivary glands.1,2 They appear as bluish nodules, preferentially localized on the lower lip and the mouth floor. In 1988, Eveson3 described a new clinical entity termed superficial mucocele, presenting as either single or multiple, small, translucent, painless, recurrent vesicles. Since then some rare cases have been reported in the literature.4-8 In 2 series of cases of recurrent superficial mucoceles (RSM) published, an association with oral lichen planus (OLP) was described.
