ABSTRACT
This report describes two lesions - one on the lower lip and another on the hard palate that were correctly diagnosed as a mucocele. The usual location of the mucocele is the lower lip but rare on the palate. The mucocele is one of the common lesions of the oral mucosa, mainly associated with the minor salivary glands. This case illustrates a common presentation of mucocele with respect to signs and symptoms, location and duration. The features of a variety of oral lesions are discussed in detail and compared to various lesions of the oral cavity which will help clinicians in establishing an appropriate differential diagnosis.
