Abstract
Superficial mucocele is a variant of common mucocele. A few cases of superficial mucocele have been reported. In this study, a woman in her 50s presented with multiple vesicles on the floor of her mouth, retromolar region, lower labial and buccal mucosa. Some vesicles had ruptured, and the patient felt mild pain and discomfort. A biopsy was taken from the vesicles. Histopathologically, intraepithelial mucocele was observed. On the basis of the clinical findings, superficial mucocele was diagnosed. After discontinuing a cysteine-based preparation thought to be a contributing factor, the symptoms improved.
