Abstract
Mucocele is the most common cystic lesion of the oral mucosa. The reason is trauma, lip biting habits, or minor salivary gland alterations that lead to the accumulation of mucus. The lower lip is the most common site or in the oral mucosal sites such as lip, cheeks, and the floor of the mouth. Adolescents are the most commonly affected among all the age groups. Diagnosis depends on clinical and histopathological investigations. The lesion usually appears as bluish and transparent cystic swelling. Surgical excision is the first line of treatment. This case report represents a case of mucocele in a young male patient treated by conventional surgical excision.
