Mucoceles are one of the most common benign soft tissue lesions of the oral cavity. They are of two distinct entities based upon the histological features – mucous extravasation and mucous retention cysts. Mucoceles are most commonly seen on the lower lip due to the lip biting habit. They are soft, bluish and transparent cystic swellings which rupture spontaneously and refill leading to recurrence. This paper will enlighten us in detail about one such case of mucocele which was diagnosed and treated by surgical removal.
