Mucocele- A Case series
Abstract
Mucoceles arises from mucous secretion accumulation due to trauma or lip biting habits, or minor salivary gland alterations. Histologically categorized into extravasation and retention types, they can manifest in various oral regions, although they predominantly occur in the lips. Treatment modalities include surgical excision, marsupialization, cryosurgery, steroid injections and CO2 laser. The surgical excision performed in this study yielded favorable outcomes, as described in medical literature .Follow-up assessments revealed no recurrence rates and any other complications. Understanding the characteristicsis of oral mucocele is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management
