Abstract

Mucoceles are common, mucin-filled small sacs in the oral cavity that may be several in size. Generally, they occur after traumas. Mucoceles usually occur in chidren and adults. Majority of the mucoceles are of minor salivary gland origin. They can the surrounding tissues despite their bening nature. A twenty nine-year-old female patient was admitted to our policlinic with swelling and mild pain complaints on the right back region inside her mouth since one year. She had a impacted wisdom teeth removal history two years ago. Her story and clinical appearence of the lesion helped us diagnose the legion as a mucocele. Here we present this case because, to our knowledge, there is no reported mucocele after wisdom teeth removal in the literature.

Key Words: Mucocele; Wisdom Teeth Removal; Oral Cavity.
