Abstract : Mucocele is a frequent condition of the salivary glands that can also affect the lacrimal sac, appendix, gallbladder, paranasal sinuses, and oral cavity. The lower lip is a common site for these lesions in the oral cavity, although they can also appear on the tongue, buccal mucosa, soft palate, retromolar pad, and other parts of the mouth. These kinds of lesions are typically brought on by trauma and lip-biting behaviours. These lesions can be clinically diagnosed and are not painful.

Keywords : Mucocele, Lower lip, Salivary Gland.
