oral Mucocele ranula another human immunodeficiency virus related salivary gland disease
Laryngoscope, 2015Co-Authors: Kabunda Syebele, Thifhelimbilu I MunzheleleAbstract:Objectives/Hypothesis To describe clinical characteristics of oral Mucoceles/ranulas, with a focus on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related salivary gland diseases. Study Design A descriptive and clinical study, with review of patient data. Material and Methods We reviewed 113 referred cases of oral Mucocele. The following anatomical sites were identified: lip, tongue, and floor of the mouth (simple ranulas), as well as plunging ranulas. The age and gender data of the patients with oral Mucoceles were recorded. The HIV status of the patients and other information were reviewed. Results There were 30 (26.5%) males and 83 (73.5%) females. Most patients were below 30 years of age, with the peak frequency in the first and second decade. Ranula (simple and plunging) represented 84.1% of the Mucocele locations. Mucocele on the lips represented 10.6%. Seventy-two (63.7%) patients were HIV positive; and 97.2% of them had ranulas. Thirty-eight (33.6%) patients presented with plunging ranulas; and 92.1% of them were HIV positive, compared with two patients presenting with plunging ranulas in the HIV-negative group. These results strongly suggest that an HIV-positive patient is statistically (P < 0.001) more at risk of presenting with not only a simple, but also a plunging ranula type. Conclusion This study presents a different clinical picture of oral Mucoceles/ranulas, as observed in HIV-positive patients. Additionally, it suggests a possible clinical link between the two pathologies. The authors strongly support the suggestion that oral Mucocele/ranula is an HIV-related salivary gland disease.

ORAL Mucocele: REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 2010Co-Authors: Javier Ata-ali, Celia Carrillo, C Bonet, José Balaguer, Miguel Peñarrocha, Gasco OliagAbstract:Mucocele is a common lesion of the oral mucosa that results from an alteration of minor salivary glands due to a mucous accumulation. Mucocele involves mucin accumulation causing limited swelling. Two histological types exist - extravasation and retention. Mucoceles can appear at any site of the oral mucosa where minor salivary glands are present. Diagnosis is principally clinical; therefore, the anamnesis should be carried out correctly, looking for previous trauma. The most common location of the extravasation Mucocele is the lower lip, while retention Mucoceles can be found at any other site. Mucoceles can affect the general population, but most commonly young patients (20-30 years old). Clinically they consist of a soft, bluish and transparent cystic swelling which normally resolves spontaneously. Treatment frequently involves surgical removal. Never-theless micro marsupialization, cryosurgery, steroid injections and CO2 laser are also described. Mucocele is a common lesion and affects the general population. For this reason we felt it would be interesting review the clinical characteristics of Mucoceles, and their treatment and evolution in order to aid decision-making in daily clinical practice.

Malignant Neoplasia of the Paranasal Sinuses Associated with Mucocele
Ophthalmology, 1991Co-Authors: Daniel T. Weaver, George B. BartleyAbstract:Paranasal sinus Mucoceles are histologically benign and typically cause ophthalmic morbidity only after significant orbital extension. The authors describe seven patients who had both a Mucocele and a malignant tumor in the same paranasal sinus and in whom the neoplasm was discovered incidentally during operation for Mucocele. Although malignancy coexistent with paranasal sinus Mucocele is uncommon, the association should be considered and appropriate biopsy specimens obtained if operation for Mucocele is required.
