Gestational age and birth weight were analyzed, together with oral mucosal lesions and related factors,. A mucocele simply refers to accumulation and expansion of a structure by mucus 1. It occurs in a variety of locations which are discussed separately:
This case report describes an. Herein, we present a case of a 21 years old female patient with a recurrent lesion of extravasation mucocele on the alveolar ridge, which was surgically excised. Mucus extravasation phenomenon is generally encountered over the lip but rarely seen over the alveolar ridge.
Eruption cysts most commonly develop on the alveolar ridge of the maxilla or mandible. Diagnosis is aided by clinical examination, imaging, and histopathology, ruling out other similar oral neonatal lesions like mucocele, lymphatic malformation, venous malformation, and. Size varies with the type of tooth overlaid, but most lesions are approximately 0.6. Clinically, mucoceles may mimic various cystic or nodular lesions of the oral cavity, necessitating a careful differential diagnosis to guide appropriate treatment.
If the mucocele has been infected (pyocele) then the content is similar to pus. Size varies with the type of tooth overlaid, but most lesions are approximately 0.6. Eruption cysts most commonly develop on the alveolar ridge of the maxilla or mandible. Most simple mucoceles are formed by clear thick mucus.
Oral mucosal lesions were evaluated by oral clinical examination.
