Abstract :

 Mucoceles are soft tissue masses which are benign in nature resulting from the retention in the salivary 

duct or extravasation of mucus into the surrounding tissues of the lamina propria. They occur in varying 
locations on oral mucosa where accessory salivary glands are present, most frequently, located on the lower lip. Development of a mucocele on the ventral aspect of the tongue is rarely seen. This article presents a case of mucocele of 
the glands of Blandin and Nuhn in a 13 year old female patient.
