Oral mucoceles are benign lesions that may appear in any location on the mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity where underlying minor salivary glands are found. The lower lip is the most frequently affected and the most widely reported location. Mucoceles involving the glands of Blandin and Nuhn are infrequent and constitute only about 1.9%-10.3% of the reported cases. Superficial mucoceles are a rare subtype of the Blandin and Nuhn mucoceles and are found only in 4.3%-10% of the mucocele excisions. The purpose of this report is to present a case of a superficial mucocele in the ventral surface of the tongue in a 7-year-old child. The lesion was treated with excisional biopsy.
口腔黏液囊肿是一种良性病变，可出现在口腔黏膜表面存在小唾液腺的任何部位。下唇是最常受累且报道最多的部位。涉及布兰德氏腺和努恩氏腺的黏液囊肿较为罕见，仅占报道病例的约1.9%-10.3%。浅表性黏液囊肿是布兰德氏腺和努恩氏腺黏液囊肿的一种罕见亚型，仅在4.3%-10%的黏液囊肿切除病例中发现。本报告的目的是介绍一例7岁儿童舌腹面浅表性黏液囊肿的病例。该病变采用切除活检进行治疗。
