Abstract: Mucocele is a common lesion of the oral mucosa that results from an alteration of minor salivary glands due to a mucous accumulation causing limited swelling. Clinically they appear as a soft, bluish and transparent cystic swelling which normally resolves spontaneously. Treatment frequently involves surgical removal if causing aesthetic concern or chewing discomfort. We report a case of twenty three year old female patient having mucocele on lower lip. Surgical excision was performed as she complained of difficulty in mastication & speech. Diagnosis of mucocele is principally clinical. For this reason in the present case report we stress to elaborate the clinical characteristics of mucocele, and its management which can be used for decision making in daily clinical practice.
