Mucoceles are benign, mucus containing cystic lesions of the minor salivary glands. Most dental literature reports a higher incidence of mucocele in young patients, with trauma being a leading cause. The purpose of this report was to describe a clinical case of a 22 year old female with a 6 mm mucocele on the lower lip treated by a high-intensity diode laser. Diode laser surgery provided satisf...

Oral mucoceles are small-size, benign minor salivary gland pathologies. The most frequent localizations of these lesions are the lower lip mucosa.

The concurrent occurrence of a mucocele and a PG lesion has rarely been reported in the me...
