Mucocele in the Posterior Mucogingival Region of Mandibula: a Rare Case Report

Abstract

Mucocele means a cavity filled with mucus. These lesions, which are the second most common soft tissue growth in the mouth, mostly originate from minor salivary glands. A 30-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic. On examination, an asymptomatic lesion was detected in the right premolar region of the mandible, which was fluctuant on palpation and similar in color to the surrounding tissues. After surgical removal of the lesion, a diagnosis of mucocele was made after histopathologic examination. Mucoceles are frequently seen in the lower lip, they can rarely be observed in many areas of the intraoral region where the minor salivary glands are located. No case of mucocele in the mandibular premolar region, especially in the mucogingival area, was found in the literature.
