Mucous Extravasation Cyst Associated With the Lower Lip and Its Management: A Case Report

A 15-year-old female patient was reported with swelling on the right side of the lower lip for 15 days. A provisional diagnosis of mucocele was obtained based on the patient's history and clinical examination. Under all aseptic conditions and administration of local anesthetic, surgical mucocele removal was done using a scalpel. An excised soft tissue specimen was given for histopathological examination, confirming the final diagnosis of mucous extravasation phenomena or mucocele. Recall examination after seven days reveals satisfactory lesion healing and no discomfort. This case report demonstrates that surgical excision is a simple, efficient, and affordable method for treating mucoceles and giving aesthetic and functional clearance.
