Three Cases of Diverticulum of the Buccal Mucosa

Abstract

Diverticulum of the oral mucosa is reported as rare. We report three cases of diverticulum of the buccal mucosa. The three patients were middle-aged or older males, and they had no history of pain or discomfort. Clinical examination revealed diverticulum measuring 3-12mm in diameter, 5-8mm in depth posterior-interior to the papillae of Stensen's duct. Excision was carried out to deep one and no treatment were performed to sharrow cases.
