Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify whether age is associated with mucocele recurrence after excision.
Study Design: This retrospective cohort study consisted of 492 patients who underwent oral mucocele excision at Boston Children's Hospital from 2010 to 2022. Fisher's exact tests were used to assess the association between age and mucocele recurrence. An adjusted logistic regression model was run to evaluate the effect of age on mucocele recurrence while controlling for confounders. A P value < .05 was considered significant.
Results: Mucocele recurrence was observed in 24 cases (4.9%). There was a significant association between age and mucocele recurrence (2.2% for <7 years vs. 2.9% for 7 to <13 years vs. 9.2% for 13 to <18 years vs. 8.9% for >18 years; P = .005). Sex; history of behavioral disorders; mucocele size, duration, and location; suture technique; and type of anesthesia were not significantly associated with recurrence (P > .135). An adjusted logistic regression model verified a significant association between age and mucocele recurrence (odds ratio, 1.053; 95% confidence interval, 1.019-1.088; P = .035).
Conclusions: Mucocele recurrence occurs infrequently in patients younger than 7 years and is most prevalent in the teenage to young adult patient population. For every year increase in age, the odds of mucocele recurrence increase by 5.3%.

Article Synopsis
- 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.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed 10 patients with paranasal sinus mucoceles that extended into the orbit or cranial regions, highlighting the potential complications associated with these cases.
- The majority of patients were older adults, particularly women, experiencing symptoms like pain and visual problems, with detailed imaging revealing significant sinus involvement.
- Surgical treatment, mainly through endoscopic sinus surgery, showed successful results with symptom relief, few complications, and no signs of recurrence, underscoring the need for careful evaluation and follow-up in such cases.

Masson's tumor is a benign intravascular lesion of proliferating endothelial cells that accounts for 2% of vascular and subcutaneous lesions. It manifests clinically as a bluish swelling, resembling a mucocele or hemangioma. Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) was coined by Clearkin and Enzinger in 1976 to describe reactive vascular expansion, following traumatic vascular stasis mimicking angiosarcoma.
