Mucoceles of the oral mucous membrane are benign tumoral diseases of the minor salivary glands of the oral mucous membrane. They most commonly occur in the labial mucosa. They can be caused by a break in the epithelium of the gland secreting saliva in the extra-glandular space and forming a pseudo cyst (extravasation mucoceles) or by a block in salivary flow due to an epithelial proliferation of the excretory duct forming salivary cyst (retention cyst).
