Bump in the mouth: Mucocele, Submucosal Cysts, signs, symptoms and treatment

Submucosal cysts, or mucoceles, are fluid-filled sacs that form on mucous membranes due to trauma or blockage of a salivary gland. Mucoceles are a common condition with a prevalence of approximately 1-2%, more frequently observed in adults and males. Patients typically describe a mucocele as a small, round, fluid-filled bump, generally painless but can cause discomfort if large or ruptured. A mucocele can persist from weeks to months, and in rare cases, even years if the underlying cause isn't addressed, potentially leading to a chronic condition. Mucoceles do not typically cause pain in submandibular lymph nodes unless they become infected or lead to significant inflammation. Infections or significant inflammation of a mucocele can lead to symptoms such as redness, warmth, pain, pus drainage, fever, or swollen lymph nodes. Treatment options for mucoceles include surgical removal, marsupialization, and laser therapy. What is a submucosal cyst and how does it form? What is the estimated prevalence of mucoceles, and who are the most commonly affected populations? How does a patient typically describe a submucosal cyst? How long can a mucocele persist without treatment, and what factors influence its course? Can a mucocele cause pain in the submandibular lymph nodes? What are the potential complications if a mucocele becomes inflamed or infected? What are the treatment options for a mucocele? By Klaus D.
