Mucoceles can appear as Extravasation or Retention type. Lower lip is the most common site for Extravasation type. Mucoceles are usually painless but sometimes they may cause difficulty in speaking and chewing. Their sudden appearance often makes the patients anxious. Simple surgical excision when done with care is the best treatment alternative that can relieve the patients fear and anxiety. Here we present a case report of 19-year-old boy with mucocele of extravasation type on lower lip treated with surgical excision.
