Mucoceles are nonneoplastic cystic lesions of major and minor salivary glands which result from the accumulation of mucus. These lesions are most commonly seen in children. Though usually these lesions can be treated by local surgical excision, in our case, to avoid intraoperative surgical complications like bleeding and edema and to enable better healing, excision was done using a diode laser in the wavelength of 940 nm.

Mucoceles are benign, mucus-containing cystic lesions of the minor salivary glands. They are not true cysts since most of them lack an epithelial lining. These lesion occur most commonly in the lower lip.  This case report presents two cases of mucocele on the lower and upper lips. This lesion was diagnosed based on history, clinical finding and histopathological examination. The excision of the lesion was planed using diode laser. After re-evaluation of both the patients healing was satisfactory.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijosh.v4i1.12167

Microscopic Findings

Sialolithiasis, or salivary calculus, is a disease of the salivary glands, characterized by the formation of mineralized structures within the excretory salivary ducts or the glandular parenchyma. Approximately 80% occur in the submandibular gland, followed by the parotid and sublingual glands. Although rare, sialolithiasis can also occur in the minor salivary glands. Although the oral cavity and upper lip are the most common sites, they can develop in any region of the oral cavity that contains minor salivary glands. Treatment is based on surgical excision of the lesion, with a favorable prognosis. This study presents three cases of sialolithiasis of minor salivary glands of the upper and lower lip, addresses their clinical characteristics and correlation with microscopic findings, diagnosis and treatment plans. Etiology and factors that should be considered during diagnosis, appropriate treatment and improved prognosis are discussed in this study.

Recommended Treatment

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common neoplasm in major and minor salivary glands. It constitutes approximately 90% of all benign salivary gland lesions and the parotid is the most affected location. When the minor salivary glands are affected, it mostly occurs at the junction of the hard and soft palates. The diagnosis is complex because of the great histological variety and biological behavior of this tumor, a histopathological examination being essential. The recommended treatment is surgical excision. For lesions located superficially in the parotid gland, superficial parotidectomy - identifying and preserving the facial nerve - is necessary. Lesions in the palate or gums sometimes demand a margin of safety, being excised below the periosteum, including the overlying mucosa. With correct surgical removal, the prognosis is excellent. The aim of this study is to report a case of an unusual minor salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma in the hard palate, describing the most important aspects of this pathology.

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of minor salivary glands is an extremely rare entity that has only recently been described, with a few published cases in the English literature. A 42-year-old woman with a history of a surgically excised mucinous cystadenoma of the oral tongue, presented with a painful swelling in the oral tongue slowly growing for 1 month. On clinical examination, there was a firm, relatively well-circumscribed mass in the left posterior border of the mobile tongue. Subsequent MRI scan revealed a heterogeneous lesion composed of multiple cysts separated by contrast enhancing septa, in the posterior two-thirds of the left tongue. Imaging findings were similar to those of the previously resected mass, suggesting local relapse of the primary lesion. A complete surgical excision was performed and the histopathological examination revealed typical features of a low-grade mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of minor salivary glands.

Mucoceles are benign pseudocystic lesions, whose main etiological factors are trauma and ductal obstruction, with the rupture of a duct in the salivary gland and leakage of mucin into the adjacent soft tissues. They are characterized by being asymptomatic and often present spontaneous rupture. Histologically, they are made up of a cystic wall devoid of epithelium, outlined by granulation tissue and inflammatory cells. Mucoceles usually present as dome-shaped mucous swellings, which can vary in size from 1 to 2 mm to a few centimeters, characterized as a floating lesion, although some may be firm on palpation. The evolution time reported for this lesion varies from a few days to several years, and the most common site of involvement for this phenomenon is the lower lip. Some mucoceles are self-limiting, with spontaneous rupture and scarring, however, many of these lesions are chronic in nature, and local surgical excision may be necessary. The aim of this study was report a clinical case of mucocele on the lower lip. The surgical removal of the mucocele proved  to be an effective and safe technique in the case in question, enabling the histopathological diagnosis of the lesion.

Sublingual Cyst

Ayurvedic Acharyas have mentioned so many Mukharaogas (diseases of the oral cavity). Among these Jihwagata rogas (diseases of the tongue) are described separately. Sushruta and Vagbhatta have mentioned five Jihwagata rogas. Upajihwika described by Sushruta and Adhijihwa described by Vagbhatta represent the cystic lesions on the floor of the mouth. Modern science describes a few diseases in which the patient presents with cystic swelling on the floor of mouth. Mucocele is a cystic lesion or a cavity filled with mucus. They are found on any mucosal surface where underlying accessory glands are present. Mucoceles are commonly found in the lower lip and are very rarely found on the tongue. Cystic lesions or mucoceles on the ventral aspect of the tongue are less frequent. Many modern treatment modalities as surgical excision, cryosurgery and electro-cautery are the only choice of treatment to completely remove the lesion and reduce the chances of recurrence. Herewith we report a case diagnosed as Adhijihwa according to Ayurveda. Ayurvedic internal medicines have provided promising results in reducing the cyst completely without causing any adverse effects within two months. Till this date there is no recurrence of the disease. Ayurvedic treatment helped in complete management without any surgical procedures.

Background. Mucocele is the most common minor salivary glands disease. Its management may present a challenge for dental professionals. The aim of the present clinical case was to describe mucocele treatment with diode laser and its benefits. Case Report. A case of lower lip mucocele in a 10-year-old female patient is reported. A conventional excision surgery was performed. Two months later, the patient reported discomfort and swelling at the same operative site. The lesion had recurred. Thus, mucocele was removed using a diode laser with wavelength of 980 nm, an initiated fiberoptic tip of 300 μm, in continuous mode, and a power setting of 2 Watts. The procedure was rapidly completed with no bleeding. The patient was followed-up after 2 weeks and 6 months. The wound healed without complications: no postoperative discomfort or pain and no infection. There was no recurrence. Conclusion. Diode laser is an effective, easy, bloodless, and well-accepted procedure to treat mucocele in pediatric patients.

Thirty-four cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the major and minor salivary glands of the oral cavity, treated by wide surgical excision, were studied. The relationship between prognosis of the neoplasm and various morphologic factors were evaluated. Among the morphologic parameters previously studied, which according to various authors may be linked to the evolution of this tumor, we confirmed correlations for both histologic patterns and perineural invasion. In addition, the authors propose neoplastic growth type as a new parameter prognostically significant in ACC. In fact, none of the patients with the pushing type growth pattern died during the study period (p = 0.007). These same patients presented disease-free periods (mean 56 months, median 58 months) significantly longer than those with the infiltrating type growth pattern (mean 28 months, median 24 months).

Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare neoplasm accounting for only 2.9% of all salivary gland neoplasms. BCAC involving palatal minor salivary glands are exceedingly rare, and only 10 cases have been reported in the literature. The treatment of choice is surgical excision. Here, we report a case of a 55-year-old male patient with massive BCAC of palatal minor salivary gland extending into the maxillary sinus. This is the first case of BCAC treated by radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy. A follow-up check conducted after 14-months showed good prognosis.
