    Area of Science:

    • Oral medicine
    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Mucocoeles are benign cystic lesions frequently occurring on the lower lip.
    • The elderly demographic is particularly susceptible to mucocoele development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline effective treatment modalities for mucocoeles.
    • To highlight the diagnostic utility of punch biopsy for histological confirmation.

    Main Methods:

    • Repeated cycles of freeze-thaw cryotherapy.
    • Surgical excision via punch biopsy.

    Main Results:

    • Both cryotherapy and punch biopsy demonstrate successful treatment outcomes.
    • Punch biopsy provides essential histological data for diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Mucocoeles in the elderly lower lip can be managed effectively with cryotherapy or punch biopsy.
    • Histological examination via punch biopsy is a valuable diagnostic tool.
