Abstract :
Oral mucocele is a common salivary gland disorder and second most common soft tissue lesion of oral mucosa. It results from accumulation of mucus due to alteration in the minor salivary gland and traumatic in origin. Mucocele is mucous filled cavities that appear in oral cavity, lacrimal sac, appendix and paranasal sinuses. These are usually present on lower lip and other locations like buccal mucosa & floor of mouth. Clinically they present as soft, bluish, fluctuant, cystic swelling & diagnosis is mainly clinical. Treatment involves surgical removal although marsupilization, cryosurgery, CO2 laser, steroid injections are described in literature. We report a case series of mucocele on lower lip treated successfully by conventional surgical excision of lesion, and no recurrence was observed on follow up of 6 months
