Mucus extravasation cyst is a commonly occurring lesion in oral cavity that may result from traumatic severance of a salivary gland duct with subsequent extravasation of mucus into fibrous connective tissue. After a conventional excision or marsupialization, recurrence is not uncommon. Diode laser offers an effective modality for management of such lesions. Four patients were referred with painless fluctuant swellings on labial and buccal mucosa. After recording history and clinical examination, provisional diagnosis of mucocele was made. All the lesions were excised with a diode laser and biopsy was performed. Surgical wounds were treated with low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Uneventful healing was observed in all 4 cases. Significant reduction in postoperative discomfort was recorded after application of LLLT. Histopathological findings were suggestive of mucus extravasation cysts. Diode laser appears to be a good alternative to conventional modalities for the management of mucus extravasation cysts.
黏液外渗性囊肿是口腔中常见的病变，可能由唾液腺导管的外伤性断裂导致黏液随后渗入纤维结缔组织引起。传统切除或袋形缝合术后，复发并不少见。二极管激光为这类病变的治疗提供了一种有效的方式。4例患者因唇颊黏膜出现无痛性波动性肿胀前来就诊。记录病史并进行临床检查后，初步诊断为黏液囊肿。所有病变均用二极管激光切除并进行活检。手术伤口采用低强度激光疗法（LLLT）治疗。4例均观察到愈合顺利。应用LLLT后，术后不适明显减轻。组织病理学检查结果提示为黏液外渗性囊肿。二极管激光似乎是治疗黏液外渗性囊肿的传统方法的良好替代方案。
