Abstract
Mucoceles are benign, mucus containing cystic lesions of the minor salivary glands. These are formed when the main duct of a minor salivary gland is torn with subsequent extravasation of the mucus into the fibrous connective tissue so that a cyst like cavity is produced. Trauma is the frequent cause of mucocele. Mucoceles are known to occur most commonly on the lower lip, followed by the floor of the mouth and buccal mucosa being the next most frequent sites. Here we report a case of mucocele of the lower lip, which was diagnosed as mucocele and was excised under local anesthesia with no postoperative complications.
