Mucoceles arising from the Blandin Nuhn glands are uncommon benign lesions of the oral cavity, which by their clinical presentation may be confused with more serious diseases such as vascular lesions, pyogenic granulomas, polyps, or squamous papillomas; thereby, it is convenient to be aware of the characteristics of this entity to guide the accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we present a case of a 10-year-old patient with a recurrent lesion of this type, which required surgical excision and marsupialization of the same, with no evidence of recurrence during follow-up.
起源于布兰丁-努恩腺的黏液囊肿是口腔中罕见的良性病变,根据其临床表现,可能会与更严重的疾病如血管病变、化脓性肉芽肿、息肉或鳞状乳头状瘤相混淆;因此,了解该实体的特征有助于准确及时地诊断和治疗。在此,我们报告一例10岁复发性此类病变患者,该患者需要进行手术切除及袋形缝合术,随访期间无复发迹象。
