It is of two types \u2013 mucous extravasation phenomenon and mucous retention type. Extravasation type is more common. Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old male patient with a complaint of painful swelling in the lower lip for 1 month with a history of trauma in the lower lip. It was clinically diagnosed as traumatic fibroma, and an excisional biopsy was done. However, the histopathology was basically that of mucous extravasation phenomenon coexisting with the features of a reactive lesion implicating the potential role of chronic irritation in the impairment of normal healing process. Considering the fact that long-standing chronic inflammation in a benign lesion can even lead to malignant transformation of that lesion; here, we highlight the role of a good clinicopathologic correlation and the significance of prompt intervention and treatment. Furthermore, emphasizing the potential need for postoperative follow-up by the dentist, how much ever trivial the lesion may appear to be in the best interest of the patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/0975-7406.191951","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]],"date-time":"2023-02-08T06:54:17Z","timestamp":1675839257000},"page":"S168-S170","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Mucocele: A diagnostic dilemma!!"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Maruthamuthu","family":"Karthikeyan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital, Melmaruvathur, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alex K.","family":"Varghese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital, Melmaruvathur, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Govindarajan","family":"Vasupradha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital, Melmaruvathur, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jayapal","family":"Dinakaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital, Melmaruvathur, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"Suppl 2","key":"R1-20250925","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S731","DOI":"10.4103\/0975-7406.163516","article-title":"Oral mucocele: Review of literature and a case report","volume":"7","author":"Nallasivam","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Pharm Bioallied Sci"},{"issue":"Suppl 1","key":"R2-20250925","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S72","DOI":"10.4103\/0973-029X.141370","article-title":"Oral mucocele: A clinical and histopathological study","volume":"18","author":"More","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Pathol"},{"key":"R4-20250925","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e18","DOI":"10.4317\/jced.2.e18","article-title":"Oral mucocele: Review of the literature","volume":"2","author":"Ata-Ali","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Clin Exp Dent"},{"issue":"Suppl 1","key":"R5-20250925","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S151","DOI":"10.4103\/0973-029X.141375","article-title":"Salivary duct cyst on lower lip: A rare entity and literature review","volume":"18","author":"Tandon","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Pathol"},{"key":"R6-20250925","first-page":"1","article-title":"Atypical clinical presentationof oral mucocele","author":"Santosh","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int J Med Dent Case Rep"},{"issue":"Suppl 2","key":"R7-20250925","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S194","DOI":"10.4103\/0975-7406.100269","article-title":"Pyogenic granuloma of labial mucosa: A misnomer in an anomolous site","volume":"4","author":"Ravi","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Pharm Bioallied Sci"},{"key":"R8-20250925","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0714.1973.tb01670.x","article-title":"Replacement of functional parenchymal cells by fat and connective tissue in human submandibular salivary glands: An age-related change","volume":"2","author":"Waterhouse","year":"1973","journal-title":"J Oral Pathol"},{"key":"R9-20250925","first-page":"406","article-title":"Epithelial dysplasia in oral cavity","volume":"39","author":"Shirani","year":"2014","journal-title":"Iran J Med Sci"}],"container-title":["Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/01438291-201608001-00038","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]],"date-time":"2026-08-18T15:50:57Z","timestamp":1787068257000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/01438291-201608001-00038"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,10]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Suppl 1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/0975-7406.191951","relation":{},"ISSN":["0976-4879","0975-7406"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0976-4879","type":"print"},{"value":"0975-7406","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,10]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2016-04-06","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2016-05-06","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
