| description | ABSTRACT Despite being common pathological entities found in the oral cavity, oral mucoceles can present distinct features, raising several diagnostic possibilities and treatments. In this study, we report the case of a 34-year-old man with an asymptomatic increased volume in the left periorbital region of more than a year, without remission or associated trauma. An aspiration biopsy was performed, followed by an excisional biopsy, and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination. Results led to the diagnosis of an oral mucocele. Surgical removal was performed in an excisional biopsy. Subsequently, the patient recovered promptly without further complications. Although oral mucoceles recur relatively often, its prognosis is good. This case emphasizes the importance of obtaining a detailed disease history, knowledge of its clinical features, and etiopathogenesis combined with complementary examinations to establish diagnostic hypotheses and converge on an adequate and individualized treatment plan |
