Abstract

Mucocele is a common, benign, mucous containing cystic lesion of the minor salivary glands in the oral cavity, resulting from the retention or extravasation of mucous into the surrounding tissues of lamina propria. They occur in various anatomical locations but the occurrence in the ventral aspect of tongue is rarely seen.
We present a clinical case of mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn in a 12-year-old boy – the path to the diagnosis and management.
