Abstract

Introduction: Mucoceles are described as asymptomatic benign soft tissue masses of the oral cavity. They are soft, smooth, spherical, translucent and fluctuant in the clinical appearance. The most common site of the mucocele is the interior surface of the lower lip followed by the tongue, floor of mouth (ranula), and the buccal mucosa.
Case Reports: This is a case of a 2-year-old girl referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Shahid Beheshti University of medical sciences with a soft tissue swelling on the lower lip appeared at birth. Typical clinical signs and features along with pathology report lead to the diagnosis of a mucocele. Surgical excision was carried out as the treatment of choice with the histopathological sample being provided for the lab. A spilled mucin surrounded by fibrovascular connective tissue was the lab report. Soft tissue healing of the surgical site was observed with no scaring in a week follow up.
Conclusion: Clinical signs and histopathological report were indicative of a mucocele.
