Objectives: Evaluating data of patients affected by oral mucoceles, examined at the Unit of Oral Medicine and Pathology of the University of Milan between January 1994 and December 2008.
Study Design: Concise review on oral mucoceles and analysis of the clinical files of patients who underwent excisional biopsy (patient age, medical history, diagnosis, date and site of the biopsy, histopathological diagnosis and recurrences if any).
Results: During the period June 1994-December 2008, 158 mucoceles were observed (93 males and 65 females), with the most frequent site being the lower lip (53%) (p=0.001 by Fisher's test). The mean age of the patients was 31.9 years, with a peak of occurrence in the first four decades of life (75%).
Conclusions: Mucoceles are lesions commonly seen in an oral medicine service, mainly affecting young people and lower lips.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated ChatGPT-4.0's ability to diagnose oral and maxillofacial lesions by analyzing 102 histopathological cases and comparing its performance to that of pathologists.
- ChatGPT-4.0 achieved an accuracy of about 59.8%, diagnosing 61 cases correctly, with varying success depending on lesion type—being particularly poor with granulomas and inflammation, but strong with mucoceles.
- There was a notable correlation between age and accuracy, indicating that older ages might be associated with lower diagnostic scores, although gender did not significantly affect results.

- Oral verruciform xanthoma (OVX) is a rare, benign oral lesion that can resemble other common growths and has only a few documented cases.
- It typically appears in areas like the masticatory mucosa, with its exact cause still uncertain, but it's thought to arise from monocyte/macrophage lineage.
- In a reported case, a 20-year-old male had a keratotic growth on his lower lip that was diagnosed as OVX through histopathology and immunohistochemistry; it was successfully surgically excised with no recurrence afterward.
