Mucocele is a benign lesion characterized by an extravasation or retention of mucous in submucosal tissue from minor salivary glands. Mucoceles are known to occur most commonly on the lower lip, followed by the floor of mouth and buccal mucosa being the next most frequent sites. Trauma and lip biting habits are the main cause for these types of lesions. Mucocele is a common oral mucosal lesion but it is rarely observed in the infant. This paper highlights the successful management of a rare case of mucocele in an 11-month-old child. Diagnosis and management of mucocele are challenging. For this reason we felt it would be interesting to review the clinical characteristics, histological features, differential diagnosis, and their treatment and evolution in order to aid decision-making in daily clinical practice.
黏液囊肿是一种良性病变，其特征是小唾液腺的黏液在黏膜下组织外渗或潴留。黏液囊肿最常发生在下唇，其次是口腔底部，颊黏膜是下一个最常见的部位。创伤和咬唇习惯是这类病变的主要原因。黏液囊肿是一种常见的口腔黏膜病变，但在婴儿中很少见。本文重点介绍了一例成功治疗11个月大儿童罕见黏液囊肿的病例。黏液囊肿的诊断和治疗具有挑战性。因此，我们认为回顾其临床特征、组织学特征、鉴别诊断及其治疗和演变情况，有助于日常临床实践中的决策，这将是很有意义的。
