Abstract
A mucocele is a benign, mucous-containing cystic lesion of the minor salivary glands presenting as a distinct, fluctuant, painless swelling of the mucosa. Mucocele is a clinical term used that includes mucous extravasation phenomenon and mucus retention cyst. Because each has a distinctive pathogenesis and microscopy, they are considered separately. Extravasation mucocele is the most common type of the two and the most common reason for mucocele is traumatic injury to the minor salivary ducts. They can appear at any site where minor salivary gland is present. The most common site is lower lip followed by the tongue, floor of mouth and buccal mucosa. There are various modalities for the treatment of mucocele. This paper reviews a case of extravasation type of mucocele; its etiopathogenesis, clinical features and various treatment options.
