A mucous cyst (mucous extravasation cyst, mucocele, ranula, mucous retention cyst) is a thin sac on the inner surface of the lips. They are painless swellings but can be bothersome. The cysts are thought to be caused because of trauma by sucking of the lip membranes between the teeth, if left untreated; they can organize and form a permanent bump on the inner surface of the lip. They are known as ranula when on the floor of the mouth, and epulis when present on the gums. This article highlights the advantages and evaluates the efficacy of treatment of mucocele with the help of diode lasers.
