ABSTRACT

Mucocele of the lip is one of the most common salivary gland pathology, presenting itself with soft tissue mass, often on the lower lip. The lesion is caused by extravasation or retention of mucous from the minor salivary gland, which may occur due to trauma or obstruction of the ducts of the salivary gland. Irrespective of the pathology, the management of the benign lesion mostly involves surgical removal of the mass. Due to the high recurrence rate, the involved salivary gland is also removed to prevent recurrence of the lesion. This case report presents the management of a mucocele lesion of the lower lip managed with a minimally invasive approach using microsurgery instruments and laser.
