Abstract

Mucoceles are common benign lesions that typically occur in the oral cavity, often resulting from the rupture of minor salivary gland ducts. These lesions most commonly affect the lower lip and can present as painless, fluctuant swellings with a bluish hue. Various treatment modalities are available for mucoceles, including surgical excision. This case report presents a 30-year-old patient with a mucocele on the lower lip, treated successfully using the scalpel excision method. The clinical presentation, diagnostic process, surgical procedure, and postoperative outcomes are described. The patient experienced a smooth recovery with no signs of recurrence during the follow-up period. The scalpel excision method offers a straightforward and effective treatment option for mucoceles on the lower lip, providing patients with symptom relief and aesthetic improvement.
