Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of oral and maxillofacial lesions in pediatric patients in Brazil over a 20-year period, analyzing data from clinical records.
- Out of 10,530 records reviewed, 702 (6.67%) involved patients aged 0-19 years, with a notable higher occurrence in females and a predominance of reactive/inflammatory lesions.
- Mucocele/ranula emerged as the most prevalent lesion, highlighting the importance of these findings for pediatricians and dentists in diagnosis and treatment.
Article Synopsis
- A plunging ranula, a type of sublingual salivary gland cyst, can initially be mistaken for a vallecular cyst, but ultrasound and MRI are important for accurate diagnosis.* -
- The case presented involves an 18-year-old male with a rare form of plunging ranula that extends above the mylohyoid muscle into the oropharynx without a typical cervical swelling.* -
- The report emphasizes the importance of using MRI for distinguishing between diagnoses and highlights the need for establishing guidelines for further investigations in such atypical cases.*
Management of mucoid cysts of the oral cavity: Cases series and review.

C.C.D.T, Faculty of Dentistry, University Mohammed V, Rabat, Morocco.
Article Synopsis
- A mucoid cyst, commonly known as a mucocele, is a harmless oral lesion mainly affecting children and young adults, typically found on the lower inner lips due to salivary gland duct rupture.
- The presentation includes three clinical cases from 2022 to 2023, highlighting their histories, diagnostic details, and treatment methods.
- Although mucoceles often heal on their own, they may require surgical intervention if they affect swallowing or speech; surgical options are preferred for persistent cases, and regular follow-up is crucial, particularly in younger patients or in sensitive locations like the underside of the tongue.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on diagnosing and treating various surgical salivary conditions in buffaloes, examining 135 cases in Dakahlia Governorate between 2011 and 2022.
- It identified salivary afflictions such as salivary fistula, ranula/mucocele, and cervical sialocele, with specific surgical techniques applied to each condition, resulting in a 92.5% recovery rate without complications.
- Ranula was the most common affliction in adult buffaloes, while Stenson's duct ectasia was less common and primarily congenital in calves, with all conditions being effectively treated.
A rare case of submandibular mucocele extending into the oral cavity: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
October 2023
University of Sousse Faculty of Medicine of Sousse, ENT Department, Farhat Hached University Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- Salivary mucoceles, which are fluid-filled sacs from salivary glands, rarely happen in the submandibular gland, with very few cases reported.
- A 9-year-old boy had swelling in his neck that turned out to be a mucocele, and he had surgery to remove it without any problems afterwards.
- Diagnosing these mucoceles can be tricky because they can look like other conditions, so doctors need to use special imaging tools like CT scans and MRIs to be sure.
