Hybrid approach for excision of mucocele in a 14-year-old child: a case report

Mucocele, a frequent lesion or rural mucosa, is caused by mucus accumulation in the minor salivary glands and includes buildup of mucus with minimal swelling. Extravasation and retention are the two histology variations. The development of small salivary glands determines how they look. Since clinical examination is used to make the diagnosis, medical history is crucial. Clinically, they have a smooth surface, appear bluish-red, and can occasionally be translucent. Co2 laser micro masculinization surgery is commonly used as a therapy. The 14-yr/o girl in this case study has been complaining of swelling in the bottom front part of her lip for a year. The patient did not report any trauma preceding the swelling. The lesion was painless and the patient were concerned about the swelling. In the present case scenario, a hybrid technique of laser and surgical excision using Bard Parker number 15 was used.
