The Mucocele or Mucous retention phenomenon is a salivary gland lesion of traumatic origin. Formation occurs when the duct of a minor salivary gland is injured resulting in extravasations of mucus into the connective tissue producing a cyst. The wall of this cyst is formed by compressed bundles of collagen fibrils; it contains mucin. Mucoceles occur most commonly on the lower lip; floor of mouth and buccal mucosa, being the other most frequent sites. They may occur at any age, but are seen most frequently in the second and a third decade of life; with no sex predilection. The treatment of choice is surgical excision; as drainage alone results in high recurrence rate. This paper reviews the recurrent occurrence of mucocele lesion in paediatric patients and purport of surgical intervention in 2 case reports.
