Pseudocyst of Lower Lip: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
The Mucocele or Mucus Extravasation phenomenon or mucus escape reaction is a common benign lesion of the oral cavity which most commonly results from the rupture of a salivary gland ducts or an alternation of minor salivary glands due to accumulation of mucus into the surrounding soft tissues. This may results from the local trauma to the salivary ducts that can be produced by lip or cheek bitting, or by lip pinching by forceps. The most common sites include lower lip usually lateral to the midline. The Mucocele is not a true cyst as it lacks an epithelial lining. Histologically, it exists as extravasation and retention types. Clinically, they appear as dome-shaped mucosal swelling ranging from few mm to several centimeters in size and consist of soft, bluish and translucent cystic swelling. This case report presents a 32 years old male patient having Mucocele on lower lip. Treatment performed was surgical excision as he suffered difficulty in speech and mastication. After follow up, there was no recurrence of the lesion. Keywords:Mucocele, mucus extravasation phenomenon, mucus escape reaction, surgical excision, salivary glands
