Article Abstract
Background: A mucocele is a benign, mucus-containing cystic lesion of the minor salivary gland also called a sialocele and ptyalocele. Two types are recognized as mucus extravasation cyst and the other is retention type.
Objective: To evaluate the clinicopathologic features of oral mucocele cases.
Materials And Methods: The archival blocks which were signed out as mucocele were taken for the study. The following parameters such as age, gender, history of trauma, site, histological features, and clinical presentations were taken into consideration.
Results: 68 cases of mucous extravasation cysts were analysed, among which 58% were males and 42% were females. Age of the patients ranged from 4 to 70 years with an average of 20 years. The most common locations were the lower lip (87%), tongue (5%) and buccal mucosa (8%). Almost 53% of cases are seen on the left side of the oral cavity. Most of the cases presented a history of trauma. Histopathologically 23% of cases presented with muciphages in the lumen and connective tissue.
Conclusion: The commonly encountered benign salivary lesion of the oral cavity is the mucus extravasation phenomenon of the mucocele. Various histopathological features were discussed in this study to avoid misdiagnosis of this common lesion in dental practice.

Introduction: Dental impaction may be due to several etiological factors, including genetic conditions, lack of space, failure of primary tooth resorption and prolonged retention of these teeth, presence of intraosseous cysts, and trauma in the region. The ranula is a mucus-filled cyst-like mass that usually originates from extravasation of mucus from the sublingual gland.
Case Description: A 7-year-old Saudi female presented to the pediatric dental clinic at Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Hospital (PMBAH), Al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia, with complicated orodental problems that were identified after clinical and radiological assessment, including the following: an intruded primary central incisor in close relation to the nasal cavity, hypodontia, hypomineralization, multiple carious teeth, abscess, and sublingual ranula.

This case represents mucocele of extravasation phenomenon associated with a lower lip on the right side in the last 15 days. A 19-year-old male patient visited the outpatient department with a history of constant trauma due to lip biting and due to soft and flocculent consistency on palpation, mucocele was considered under the provisional diagnosis. The borders of the lesion were marked following all the protocols of asepsis and sterilization and laser-assisted surgical excision was undertaken resulting in total removal of the lesion with a diode laser by resecting it from the base to reduce chances of re-occurrence.
