Abstract

Mucocele means a cavity filled with mucus. These lesions, which are the second most common soft tissue growth in the mouth, mostly originate from minor salivary glands. A 30-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic. On examination, an asymptomatic lesion was detected in the right premolar region of the mandible, which was fluctuant on palpation and similar in color to the surrounding tissues. After surgical removal of the lesion, a diagnosis of mucocele was made after histopathologic examination. Mucoceles are frequently seen in the lower lip, they can rarely be observed in many areas of the intraoral region where the minor salivary glands are located. No case of mucocele in the mandibular premolar region, especially in the mucogingival area, was found in the literature.

Özet

Mukosel; içi mukus ile dolu olan kavite anlamına gelmektedir. Ağızda en çok görülen ikinci yumuşak doku büyümesi olan bu lezyonlar daha çok minör tükrük bezlerinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Kliniğimize başvuran 30 yaşındaki kadın hastanın yapılan muayenesinde mandibula sağ premolar bölgede palpasyonda flüktan çevre dokularla benzer renkte asemptomatik bir lezyon tespit edilmiştir. Lezyon cerrahi olarak çıkarıldıktan sonra histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda mukosel tanısı konmuştur.Sıklıkla alt dudakta görülmesine rağmen nadirende olsa intraoral bölgede minör tükürük bezlerinin bulunduğu pek çok bölgede gözlenebilir. Literatür taramalarında mandibula premolar bölgede, özellikle mukogingival alanda gelişmiş bir mukosel olgusuna rastlanmamıştır.
