Oral Mucocele
Oral mucocele also called as mucous extravasation cyst or mucous cyst of the oral mucosa. It is the most common benign minor (accessory) salivary gland lesion. These lesions occur due to mucous accumulation resulting from the alteration of minor salivary glands. Lower lip is the most common site of occurrence of these lesions in the oral cavity and most probable cause is trauma or habit of lip biting. Clinically they are characterized by single or multiple, soft, fluctuant nodule, ranging from the normal color of the oral mucosa to deep blue and more commonly found in children and young adults.
