[ACTUALIZACIÓN: 03/29/2006 10:37 pm] Es evidente que hay un gran debate en curso sobre este tema, así que tengo comentarios con discapacidad en esta entrada, y un foro dedicado a los mucoceles. Usted lo puede encontrar en LumpInMouth.com. Por favor, comparta sus experiencias!
[UPDATE: 09/15/2008] He resumido lo que he aprendido desde que escribir este post en una sección mucocele especial del sitio.
Justo antes de Año Nuevo, noté un bulto en el interior de mi labio inferior. Ahora, siendo el hipocondríaco que soy, yo era, naturalmente, petrificada que había cáncer oral. ¿Por qué? Supuesto que no estoy en situación de riesgo. Yo no tengo una historia familiar de cáncer. Tengo 25, no es un fumador o masticador, y estoy sano. Debido a que cualquier búsqueda en Google de "nudo en la boca" o bulto en el labio es probable que incluso una persona razonable convencido de que este es un signo seguro de cáncer oral.
Afortunadamente, no tengo cáncer - Bueno, al menos no en el crecimiento que estaba en mi boca. Resulta que tuve un Mucocele, que es una especie de quiste de retención mucoso, y aparentemente es muy común, o al menos que es un cirujano oral. Es curioso, sin embargo, que si buscar el síntoma: "nudo en la boca", junto con mi diagnóstico: mucocele, en Google, obtendrá cero páginas. Hasta ahora. Incluso la página de mucoceles sigo con enlaces a la describe como una estructura de "transparente". ¿Quién va a ir al médico y decir "tengo una estructura en la boca?" Así que para todos ustedes gente ahí fuera que son frenéticos sobre ese nudo en la boca. No recibe consejos de salud de mí. Ve a ver a su médico. Pero sólo puede ser un mucocele.
Así que aquí es casi exactamente lo que hicieron por mi Mucocele (advertencia: imágenes en cifras brutas). Tomó cerca de diez minutos, y que acaba de utilizar novocaína, seguido de ibuprofeno para el alivio del dolor. Tuve que comer una gran cantidad de sopa para un par de días, y le duele a sonreír un poco después. Esto era fácil de remediar por pellizcar las mejillas, junto con mi mano cuando me sonrió, lo que hizo el ridículo e hizo reír a la gente, que me hizo reír, así que tuve que pellizcar más y me parecía más ridículo - era bastante el círculo vicioso. Yo estaba listo para comer nachos con gusto después de unos cinco días.
Me hicieron una biopsia, sólo como medida de precaución, y fue bastante divertido:
Varias secciones muestran un epitelio escamoso estratificado que cubre fibro-tejido colágeno que contienen los lagos de material mucinoso. Polimorfos viables y necrótico y los linfocitos son atrapados en la mucina. Regional de la glándula mucosas lóbulos exhibiendo ectasia ductal, la degeneración acinar, fibrosis del estroma y un infiltrado de linfocitos y células plasmáticas también se ven. Regional de los haces musculares estriadas se observó también en el estroma.
Luego estaba la parte importante:
Diagnóstico
Mucocele
Así que vivo unos días más.
Ah, y aquí está mi obra semántica buena para el día:
Nudo en la boca
A tanto alzado en los labios
Si usted piensa que tiene un mucocele, usted debe ver a un dentista o médico. Ahora podría ser un buen momento para obtener un plan de seguro médico, o un plan de atención dental.

Hola. Acabo de regresar de la cita con mi médico y por primera vez en mis 23 años escuché el mucocele palabra. Lo he tenido durante más de cinco meses y dos veces cuando me llama para hacer una cita con el sistema de salud universitario que básicamente me dijo que espere hasta que se vaya desde que se describió como un afta. Puedo referirme a su historia. Espero que la cirugía no es dolorosa para mí. Gracias por compartir tus pensamientos.

Cinco meses! ¡Santo cielo! Yo tenía la mía durante dos semanas, y fue tan enorme que apenas podía soportarlo (1 cm). No se preocupe por la cirugía, no es realmente un gran problema. Es una buena excusa para acostarse en el sofá por un rato y ver películas en

Me acaban de diagnosticar con la misma cosa-musocele que estaba en la parte superior de la espalda de mi boca. Mi garganta estaba sangrando, y así que estaba realmente asustado y se fue a emegency. El médico dijo que no puede haber sangre en el mucocele, que dijo que yo tenía y que no era nada de qué preocuparse.
Laura dijo,
10 de marzo 2005 @ 11:50 am
Mi hija ha sido diagnosticado con un mucocele en el labio inferior. Los médicos recomiendan la escisión bajo anestesia general, que parece extrema para mí.
¿Con qué frecuencia se le quitaron sólo con anestesia local?
Kadavy dijo,
10 de marzo 2005 @ 11:59 am
Sí, Laura, que sí parece extrema para mí, pero yo no soy un experto médico. Usted tendría que hablar con uno para tener una idea de la frecuencia con que el uso de anestesia general.
Todo lo que sé es que, dijo, "Oh, los que no son gran cosa. Por lo general los quitan con sólo anestesia local. "Fue una prueba aparentemente sin importancia que se ofrecieron a eliminarlo durante mi primera visita. Resultó que estaban demasiado ocupados sin embargo.

Enterarse de que me basta con un mucocele se presenta como un alivio dulce, dulce. Soy estudiante y estaba en el hospital hoy para mi rotaciones cuando vi a un niño pequeño está recibiendo tratamiento para uno. Yo estaba como, "Hey tengo eso también!", Y se sentía como un completo idiota, pero estoy muy aliviado al saber que no tienen cáncer de boca o algo igualmente terrible. Fui a un médico hace unas semanas, y la señora vació y me dijo que era una herida de morder la boca y que se iría. Bueno, todavía no se ha ido y he escurrido yo mismo varias veces. Ahora entiendo por qué las secreciones se ven exactamente como la saliva, porque lo es!
Me da vértigo saber que los médicos encogerse de hombros como para menores, cuando he estado obsesionada con él durante el último mes y medio. Gracias por publicar sus imágenes del procedimiento, así que sabrás qué esperar. Parece bastante simple.

Tengo un mucoclele y me acaba de decir por mi cirujano oral que he tenido el mayor mucocele que jamás había visto. Esa opinión fue secundada por mi PCP. Me siento como un bicho raro. Pero tienes razón, al menos es el cáncer no oral. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre conseguir extirpa el mucocele y conseguir que marsupializan?
Kadavy dijo,
3 de mayo 2005 @ 7:32 pm
Más grande que jamás había visto? ¿Qué tan grande es esa? Envíanos una foto!
No se sienta como un monstruo, no es gran cosa. Yo no sé nada de marupialization o excisation.

¡Qué gran blog! Yo también estaba seguro de que tenía cáncer de boca. Es cierto que cuando Google "nudo en la boca", todas estas páginas cáncer de pop-up. Acabo de regresar de la clínica y el médico tomó menos de 0,08 segundos para diagnosticar el mucocele. Se recomienda consultar a un cirujano para eliminarlo. El MED-secretario me dijo que podría ser de 2 semanas para determinar una cita con el cirujano! ¿Eh? (levantar el teléfono de línea ......). De atención de salud del Canadá sistema puede ser libre, pero no rápida. Bueno, me alegro de que no es cáncer. Puedo respirar más fácil. Gracias por la gran información en este sitio!

Tengo un mucocele también. No puedo decir que esas imágenes me hizo muy emocionado de tener la eliminación de hecho, pero no va a romper, naturalmente, en este punto. ¿Se sienta nada hasta tal punto que realmente no podía sentir nada? Odio incluso de conseguir un tiro pequeño, yo soy como un debilucho. : \
Kadavy dijo,
23 de mayo 2005 @ 7:47 pm
¡Oh, Jessica, no te preocupes. Lo hicieron adormecer me lo que no podía sentir nada, aunque, sí, tuvieron que inyectar un poco de novocaína para hacerlo. Eso no me molesta porque he tenido muchos rellenos de hecho en el pasado. Basta con mirar como una oportunidad de comer una gran cantidad de helado y volver a descubrir la sopa. Oye, es mejor que el cáncer!

Me desperté esta mañana con un "bulto" en el interior del labio inferior. Definitivamente no estaba allí la noche anterior. Es pequeño y no duele nada pero es molesto b / c puedo sentirlo frotarse en mis dientes y canto me guardaré de tocarla con mi lengua. No estoy seguro si es lo que tiene, ya no se ve un color azulado. Sólo se ve como un bulto debajo de mi piel. Me parece irónico que mi bulto se encuentra en el mismo lugar que el que había eliminado en sus fotos. ¿Tiene el bulto se hacen más grandes con el tiempo o permanecer el tamaño es? Soy básicamente pregunto porque no sé si esperar a ver si desaparece por sí sola o, si esto va a empeorar la situación o si debo ver a mi médico de inmediato. Cualquier ayuda sería apreciada. Gracias.
Kadavy dijo,
25 de mayo 2005 @ 8:14 am
Yo no soy médico, pero que suena como un mucocele para mí. El mío no fue ni azul, y parece que es un lugar popular para conseguirlos. Mientras duermes es un buen momento para ellos, porque a veces la gente va a morder sus labios en su sueño, con la consiguiente ruptura de la glándula salival que se convierte en un mucocele. Me sorprendería saber de ella irse por su cuenta, a menos que usted puede manejar el enojo, sería mejor ver a un médico.

Este blog es increíble. He tenido este nudo en la boca durante semanas (exactamente los mismos que los suyos de las fotos!), Y cada vez que hago una búsqueda en Google sobre "protuberancia en el labio" todo lo que obtengo son páginas web hablando de cáncer oral. Me asusté. Estoy tan aliviada ahora. Puedo respirar mucho más fácil.
Gracias un montón!!
Kadavy dijo,

Estoy tan contenta de poder ayudar. Es por eso que escribí este post, AI Estaba aterrorizada de que tenía cáncer de boca, y todo fue por las búsquedas de Google dio nada de mucoceles.

11 de junio 2005 @ 6:44 pm
Ciertamente, no queremos simplemente vivir con uno! Por alguna razón, mientras estaba cenando ayer poco mucocele mis 12 veces! Yo no he hecho por un buen tiempo, y me arrancó un poco de piel fuera de ella, y ahora es el tipo de dolor. Además de eso, es grande y está tan molesta que no me puedo imaginar que por mucho más tiempo. Por desgracia, mi cirujano oral no podría meterme en alrededor de un mes a causa de mi horario de chiflados, de modo que las minas seguirán en hasta 1 de junio!
Kadavy dijo,
11 de junio 2005 @ 10:33 pm

Muchas gracias por la información en esta página! Mi hija de 6 años tenía su mucocele eliminado el viernes 6/10/05. Ella fue puesto bajo anestesia, creo que hacer para el hecho de ser jóvenes. Su labio es todavía muy hinchados. ¿Tuvo esto también? Sólo ha sido 5 días ahora, pero parece como si la mayoría de la hinchazón habrá desaparecido. Le agradezco su respuesta.

Hola Esperanza,
No es una cosa divertida para un niño de 6 años de edad, para pasar. Para mí, la mayoría de la hinchazón había bajado un plazo de cinco días, aunque los puntos de sutura restringido la flexibilidad de la boca, por lo que es doloroso para sonreír. Pedir el cirujano oral es la mejor opción, sin embargo.
Tyler dijo,
21 de junio 2005 @ 8:43 am
Hola, acabo de tener un ayer eliminado mucocele y diré a mi duele la boca de hoy. Después de la novicaine desapareció hace sentir como que recibió un puñetazo en la boca. Mi labio sigue siendo muy hinchado y me gusta cuando la gente me hacen sonreír o reír porque mata. Abrir la boca para comer un sándwich era una tarea en sí misma y dolorosa. Por lo que hoy se pegarán con una sopa o algo que pueda comer con tenedor o cuchara.
DAVID, sólo quiero darle las gracias por este sitio y sus imágenes. Después de revisar su sitio diagnosticado i yo fuimos a un cirujano plástico y que se elimine. Yo estaba tan preocupado por lo que era su sitio y poner mi mente en la facilidad. ¿Cuánto tiempo antes de que el dolor y la hinchazón se había ido? Yo estoy trabajando ahora y es difícil concentrarse con el dolor. De todas formas, gracias a i mucho ver que este sitio ha ayudado a numerosas personas. Usted debe estar orgullosa.

Aunque espero que la gente sigue consultando a los médicos reales cuando se tiene este problema, estoy muy contento de que puedo poner mucocele sufre 'tranquilizarlos. Si tan sólo esta página han sido aquí cuando yo era preocupante hasta morir!
Me imagino que estará en muy buena forma después de dos semanas. Me asombra que se haya podido comer un sándwich. He disfrutado mucho de probar todos los diferentes sopas Panera mientras me recuperaba.

Tyler dijo,
23 de junio 2005 @ 1:32 pm
Yo tenía la mía el lunes y el labio hinchado y aún todavía me duele a veces para comer. El dolor ha disminuido mucho, pero la hinchazón sólo ha bajado un poco. Hay que volver a la normalidad en una semana ... espero ...
María dijo:
29 de junio 2005 @ 9:35 am
En primer lugar, muchas gracias por la info ... He estado obsesionado con esta cosa de semanas. Pregunta rápida: Después de haber realizado el procedimiento, ¿cuánto tiempo tomará para que los labios para un aspecto normal de nuevo (donde los clientes no lo notará, en fotos, etc)?
Kadavy dijo,
29 de junio 2005 @ 12:02p.m.
Hola María,
La gente en general no debería notar después de un par de días, a menos que el punto que a ellos, pero la comida se pone bastante difícil sonreír y comer. Eso es más fácil hacerlo después de dos semanas. Mejor de las suertes a usted.
Jessica,
1 de julio 2005 @ 4:07 pm
Hola, sólo quería hacerte saber que finalmente tuve mi día de hoy eliminado mucocele! Que había tenido durante al menos 2 meses, y mi cirujano me dijo que era el más grande que jamás haya sacado. Dijo que siempre surgen y son muy líquida cuando se los quita, pero el mío salió como una bola sólida, como una especie de mármol! Tenía un diámetro de 1,5 cm! (Era muy disguisting, él me lo mostró cuando terminó) Yo soy la reina de los debiluchos, y estoy haciendo muy bien y no siento nada. Claro que estoy feliz de que mi cirujano es cauteloso al hecho de que soy una gallina!!
Kadavy dijo,
1 de julio 2005 @ 7:51 pm
Hola Jessica,
Mi mucocele fue alrededor de un centímetro, por lo que debe de haber tenido un enorme. Mina se quedó sólidos, así, sin embargo, y tengo que verlo. Ojala lo había traído mi cámara.
Buena suerte con tu recuperación! Felicidades.

Muchas gracias por publicar esta información. Mi marido tiene 26 años y ha tenido exactamente el mismo nudo en la boca durante más de un mes. Efectivamente se fue a un cirujano oral y era un mucocele. He intentado buscar en línea, pero no pude encontrar nada hasta la página.
Gracias de nuevo!!

Jessica,
10 de julio 2005 @ 8:07 pm
Así que, mi puntos de sutura han salido y mi labio cicatrizado muy bien, pero una pregunta ... ¿cuánto tiempo toma para que la sensación de volver a tus labios? Ha sido más de una semana y mi labio es todavía entumecidos!
Kadavy dijo,
10 de julio 2005 @ 11:12 pm
Tu labio es todavía entumecidos, como si la novocaína estaban todavía en vigor? Puedo imaginar que sensación de entumecimiento ser de la hinchazón, pero que parece bastante extraño. Tal vez usted debe hablar con su cirujano.

mi mucocele día apareció de la nada una y se ha prolongado durante cerca de 3 semanas. Aún está allí, pero ha sido cada vez más pequeños por su propia cuenta para los últimos días. Yo estaba de vacaciones con un grupo grande de amigos y empezó a google llagas labio porque el herpes labial medicinas que había no estaban haciendo ningún bien (3 ciclos de medicamentos) estaba totalmente aterrado. Resultó que mi buen amigo tuvo la misma cosa, pero yo no estaba convencido, hasta que encontré este sitio. Gracias, y gracias mucocele
Lori dijo:

Acabo de encontrar su sitio hoy y el deseo que había encontrado antes. Secundo la confianza al mirar hacia arriba "nudo en la boca" en Google. Que me tenía realmente preocupado. Tengo mi mañana eliminado mucocele por un cirujano ENT y que no es un momento demasiado pronto de haber tenido durante 8 semanas. ¿Qué tipo de RD ha utilizado todos los demás?
Vi 3 médicos antes de que un doctor 4 (ENT) fue capaz de identificarlo como un mucocele. Dos dijeron que no sabían lo que era en todas y diagnosticó como ampollas de fiebre, que yo sabía que no era y se lo dije, pero todavía me pasó los 50 dólares en medicamentos con receta que no hizo nada para mí. Hasta que me quema!
De todos modos, gracias por la información sobre qué esperar!

Mi hijo de 3 años de edad, tiene un labio hinchado (pensaba yo) hace tres semanas, y me di cuenta en la tarde del viernes que fue muy grande. Me asusté y fue un manojo de nervios el fin de semana rezando para que él no tenía cáncer de boca. Bueno, lo llevamos en la actualidad y el médico sabía que en un minuto que se trataba de un mucocele. Ella dijo que había que ir a un cirujano plástico porque es tan visible. 3 a 4 meses para ponerlo en porque nadie quiere ocuparse de un caso pediátrico supongo ... es ya enorme! ¿Se dejan de crecer, o va a tener un labio £ 2 por el momento en que consigan entrar? ¿Alguien ha tenido el suyo drenaje?

Kadavy dijo,
13 de julio 2005 @ 8:13 am
Hmm .... Labio piercing parece una manera perfecta de un mucocele. No tome el consejo médico de mí, pero, personalmente, me gustaría ver a un médico o dentista.
Jessica,
16 de julio 2005 @ 5:34 pm
Hablé con mi cirujano acerca de la sensación de adormecimiento en los labios, y algunos nervios dañados o definitivamente algo en el procedimiento, pero me aseguró que va a crecer de nuevo a esa zona dentro de los 5 meses. Me alegro de eso!
JT dijo:
18 de julio 2005 @ 11:31 am
gracias yall. Yo no tengo seguro ... y soy un estudiante de postgrado pobres. mi tío es mi dentista y ha sido el de coser mí a través de mi vida. Es bueno saber que, simplemente, será capaz de tallar esta cosa de mi labio cuando lo veo la próxima semana. Cheers ... .. yeah no hay cáncer!
Ann dijo,
19 de julio 2005 @ 3:19 pm
Un mes y tengo una gran área entumecido también. Me han dicho que probablemente se * * curarse a sí mismo en los próximos meses, pero siempre existe la posibilidad de que no lo hará. Todos alrededor de la zona adormecida es dolor. No creo que el mío ha funcionado muy bien .. suspiro.

Lectura todas estas entradas me hizo muy cómodo con la supresión de mi mucocele que va a tener lugar el jueves (07/28). Debo admitir que he tenido que lidiar con la mía durante unos dos años. Realmente reventado el labio cuando me encontré con el puesto de fútbol después de marcar un gol (larga historia). Pero de todos modos, aquí mismo, cuando busqué "nudo en la boca" También he recibido "El cáncer en la boca" los resultados. Fui a varios médicos y finalmente encontré uno que era increíblemente inteligente. Ni siquiera tienen que demostrar, y él sabía lo que era. Soy un gallina también, pero leyendo sobre todo el mundo que tiene este hecho, estoy más tranquilo ahora. Gracias por este sitio. Ahora que lo pienso de ella ... Estamos todos MUCOCELE FREAKS!

Tuve mi cirugía hace 8 días, los puntos se han caído y te juro que el mucocele todavía está allí. Tengo un bulto firme como antes, tal vez incluso un poco más grande en un lugar un poco diferente. De la cirugía puede causar otro mucocele o lo que no sólo recibe la mía?
Kadavy dijo,
20 de julio 2005 @ 2:52 pm
Lori,
Yo creo que la cirugía sería una forma privilegiada para iniciar otra mucocele, sin embargo, me di cuenta de una masa similar después de mi cirugía, pero supuse que era sólo el tejido cicatrizal. Creo que tenía razón, porque poco a poco se fue.
Jessica Soucy dijo,
22 de julio 2005 @ 12:12p.m.
Lori, yo también sentía que tenía un mucocele todavía, pero igual de Kadavy dicho, es más probable es que el tejido cicatrizal. Todavía tengo un poco de tejido cicatrizal duro, pero me dijeron que poco a poco va a desaparecer y que si "amasar" es que desaparezca un poco más rápido.
Amy dijo:
24 de julio 2005 @ 1:26 pm
Tuve mi mucocele quitado hace 2 días y el labio es muy hinchados. ¿Cuánto tiempo tomará para que la hinchazón que bajar? Además, hay un punto en el labio que todavía entumecidos y de la lectura de los comentarios anteriores, parece ser los nervios damagaged. ¿Es cierto que podría ser permanente y durante cuánto tiempo antes de que el entumecimiento desaparece?
Amy
Jessica Soucy dijo,
26 de julio 2005 @ 10:52 am
Amy, después de mi cirugía que tenía que tomó poco menos de 3 semanas para que la hinchazón realmente se ha ido. Ha sido un mes desde que se realizó la operación, y yo también todavía tienen un lugar entumecido. Sí, es cierto que podría ser permanente, pero no hay posibilidad de que los nervios podrían volver a crecer en en el plazo de 5 meses.

Kadavy dijo,
26 de julio 2005 @ 11:50 am
Paul,
El mío no tenía ganas de que podría ser bien drenado. Se sentía totalmente sólida, sin embargo, se desarrolló una especie de membrana en que se llenan de líquido y podría estallar.

11 de agosto 2005 @ 1:01 pm
Yo también tuve un mucocele ... aquí es la historia horrible. Me mordí el labio y cuando digo poco mi labio, yo no significa un simple OUCH .... i poco mi labio y me sentí como si alguien hubiera disparado en la cara con una escopeta! Bueno, fue realmente dolor por algunos días, pero la marca de mordida comenzó a sanar. Por desgracia, comenzó a desarrollar algo de hinchazón que aún no ha pensamos nada y empezó a formarse en una masa más circular en lugar de sólo labio grasa. Mi primer impulso fue ir a casa y tomar una navaja de afeitar Blad a ella. Ser capaz de tolerar el dolor, así, me cortó abierto y un montón de cosas líquido-ish salió junto con un montón de sangre. Así que pensé que había algún tipo de coágulo de sangre en los labios, debido a la mordedura. En el acto cayó y me sentí mucho mejor. Unos días más tarde al pequeño polluelo, estaba de regreso, así que estaba decidido a hacerse cargo de una vez por todas. Me cortó abierto de nuevo y se volvió mi labio inferior en el interior empujando en el mismo para obtener el "bulto" fuera .... Vi un pedazo pequeño de lo que creí era mi comienzo tejido del labio para sobresalir, así que cogí un par de pinzas y sólo rompió a cabo! OOOUUUUCCCCHHH sí me duele y me había pocas palabras bien escogidas para decir. Eso fue ayer, así que hoy en día se despertó con otro labio hinchado ... así que cedió y se fue al dentista hoy. Él me felicitó por mi intervención quirúrgica diciendo que de alguna manera lo hice suficientemente bien como para no requieren puntos de sutura. Pero ahora estoy en algunos antibióticos y esperemos que esta hinchazón bajará y la costumbre que tengo que tener otra cosa que se le hace! Mantendré mis dedos cruzados!
Gracias por este sitio! Es genial!

Hola, mi nombre es Chelsea, tengo 15, y tengo el mismo problema. Lo he tenido durante unos 2 años y fuera, pero al principio nunca pensé nada de él porque sería ir y venir. Bueno, en algún momento de este año se volvió y desde entonces se hasnt desaparecido. En mi próxima cita con el dentista, le pregunté al respecto y me dijo lo que era y que tenía que tener que extirpar quirúrgicamente! Tengo terror de agujas para que usted pueda imaginar cuál fue mi reacción a la palabra cirugía. Tengo mucho miedo y mi cita es en septiembre. Es un jueves y me tengo que ir a la escuela el día siguiente! No he trabajado hasta el coraje de mirar las fotos todavía, pero he leído todos los comentarios. Por favor, hable con alguien me tengo simpatía, y quiero saber si va a ser doloroso, pero tenga en cuenta que yo soy sólo 15.

Demasiado tarde para decir nada a Ammie pero realmente no es gran cosa. Usted no se siente nada, y simplemente no es un problema. Es sólo ligeramente dolorida después también.
Para mí, que tengo otra en desarrollo a la derecha en mi labio .. en la parte que muestra al mundo. Hay también un tipo de tubo en el tejido que va de a cierta distancia que supongo que en todos será necesario extirpar. Agradable!

Miré en el espejo hoy y notó un bulto en la línea de carne que está justo debajo de la lengua. Ya sabes, lo que es realmente Slimmy y no tiene mucha sustancia a la misma. Es más como un saco, a continuación, una masa. Y un lado de ésta es con sangre. Pequeño. No duele.
Estaba buscando en Google y también se asustó. Im que va a hacer una cita Docters el lunes y espero que sea justo lo que tenía. Por favor, oren, ciertamente no queremos cáncer oral.

Mi mucocele se prolongó durante 5-7 semanas, y luego comenzó a disminuir por sí misma. Todavía está presente, pero no muy notable. Me alegro de no tener la cirugía. Creo que se habrá ido por su cuenta en una semana o dos.

Yo no me preocuparía por el dolor. Soy una gallina enorme, y odio las agujas, pero adormecer sus labios antes de tomar una aguja para que el más profundo adormecimiento. Me dolió un poco cuando tenía la aguja en los labios, pero no pasó mucho tiempo para que todo esté totalmente dormido. Cerré los ojos de todo el procedimiento y me sentí absolutamente nada.

La mayoría de todos los que he leído hablar de la protuberancia en la parte interior del labio. He desarrollado un bulto duro en el exterior del labio inferior. Traté de hacerlo estallar, sin resultado alguno. Entonces traté de desenterrarlo, pero no podía. Que sangró durante mucho tiempo - pensé que estaba sangrando a la muerte - pero con el tiempo se detuvo y parecía más pequeño. Después de varias horas, fue tan grande. Constantemente mordedura o engañar con ella y comienza a sangrar de nuevo y es difícil detener el sangrado. ¿Podría ser esto un mucocele?

Mi hijo acaba de ir al dermatólogo para un bulto de un labio que se inició después de que se mordió el duro. El doctor dijo que era un pólipo del labio y que hay una posibilidad de que no se cura por sí mismo. Me dijo que podía quitarse por el corte y cauterización de ella. Sobre la base de la mayoría de las experiencias que he leído aquí en los distintos sonidos. ¿Hay alguien que haya ido a un dermatólogo en lugar de un cirujano oral? Estoy pensando que probablemente debería obtener una segunda opinión con un cirujano oral.
También estoy curioso por saber cuánto tiempo las personas se las recuperaciones después de la cirugía con el fin de este tiempo appropiately.

This is indeed reassuring. I was actually searching for cysts or blisters but never once saw mucocele. Er I did have the same thing.

Instead it grew do maybe half a centimeter or less and was sorta hard and rather clear (no blue >This is indeed reassuring. I was actually searching for cysts or blisters but never once saw mucocele.

Wow – thanks for the site. Just had my surgery to remove 2 mucoceles removed. I actually had mine for more than 7 months before they were removed.
Everyone – do yourselves a favor and get to the doctor so that these can be removed! The actually surgery isnt bad but it will leave you with a fat, swollen and blue lip! I'm on day 2 since surgery and am getting by but the stitches make it hard to eat. For those wondering, in my case it wasnt very painful after the surgery. I havent had to use the pain medication yet.

Okay, I'm reading these posts and am wondering if I'm the only one that had a mucocele removed and then it came back?! The doctor said he would dig a little deeper if it turned, but this does not seem to be a common occurrence. Am not looking forward to going back again…
Thanks for this website; it's comforting to know that your'e not the only one with this random problem!

Looks like I have the same thing. Pretty scary at first. I just put a call into an oral surgeon to see about getting it excised. In the meantime, I have been poking a hole in it draining out the fluid in an attempt to try to hold onto my sanity. Loved the story, Nate! The thought of a bottle of rum and the steady hand of my husband has crossed my mind quite a few times. We even have a sterile suture kit! (LOL) Anyhow, thanks for posting this, it certainly puts my mind at ease.

My mucocele lasted for 8 weeks before I went to a DR. to have it excised. I had poked it with a needle to pop it, cut it off with scissors twice, but it always came back. The surgery itself wasn't bad, but for three days after, wow I hurt.(and I'm not much of a wuss)
So it's been a month my lip still has the numb tingling thing going on and I just discoved another one. Next to the scar from the last one.
Went to Dr. today and he is going to remove this one next week. Not looking forward to it at all.
I just don't want to hurt like last time. He took salivary duct and all last time. Has anyone else had a re-occurance like this? Thank-you for this site, pretty informative.

My 6 yr old son has had one of these before and it went away. This morning he woke up w/ a really big one in his upper gum above his front tooth. Today when i picked him up from school, he lifted his lip and said it had popped. I asked him if it hurt, he said it didn't. Now it looks smaller but still a bit of bump there. I have had one more then once under my tounge but it always goes away. What exactly causes these, they are very weird.

Thank you so much for your info on this site. I stumbled upon this tonight after doing a search on “lump in lip”. I definitely think what I have been dealing with since early July is a mucocele.
It first looked a bit like a pimple just inside my lower lip. A couple of times it swelled into a blister and then burst. What I have noticed the past couple weeks is a hardened lump under the surface with a definite bluish tinge.
My question is do you recommend seeing an oral surgeon or a plastic surgeon? My SIL said her sister had a cyst excised from her lip by a surgeon but regrets not having had a plastic surgeon do it. SIL did give me the name of a plastic surgeon. I have just been putting it off but I know I need to have it taken care of.
Gracias de nuevo!

I've had this lump for about a month. I tried Kanka, I tried icing it–nothing helps. Unfortunately for me, I just started a new job, and I have no benefits for the first three months. I'll have to wait out this muceole or whatever the heck it is. Has anyone else tried icing it regularly? Does anyone else notice that theirs is extremely sensitive to heat?

I went to the dentist, he said I had a cyst and sent me to an oral surgeon. I called the surgeon and he said it would be $500. I have health insurance but not dental, so I went to my GP today and he sent me to an Ear, Nose and Throat doc. I am hoping it will be covered. A lot of cysts are considered “cosmetic” and well not be paid for by insurance. Anyone have trouble with this?
I have heard that the lump may go down or away but it will always come back until it is taken out.

I hate the thought of surgery especially (if like in some other stories I have seen on this site) if it has a possibility that another one will grow. I dont know but I need it gone already, I feel like i cant wait any longer. Will it eventually just go away or should i just go to the doctor already???

If you've had it for months then it is unlikely to go away on its own. Surgery is no big deal. I shall begging my doctor to have another go soon because what he has done is brilliant and I now want him to do some more.

I do have an insurance question for the people that already had it removed.
If you went to a oral surgeon, was it covered by your health insurance or your dental insurance?
My 'general' doctor referred me to a oral surgeon, but this one is not covered by my health insurance.

it's been since september that i've been dealing with a lower lip mucocele/surgery – all gone horribly wrong. first surgery backfired, mucocele came back with a vengence. second surgery, ok for 2 weeks, then 2 more mucoceles came out of the incision site. i feel like a leper – i want to hide. Odio esto. now seeing a specialist (an ears/nose/throat/reconstructive surgeon) to see what, if anything, can be done to help me and fix my lower lip. if i had a worst enemy to wish this on, i would. this has been hell and i just want it to go away and be normal again – doubt that will happen. i've pretty much given up hope. sorry for the downer, wish i could post another successful story – thanks for reading.

I had to wait a week for the biopsy but, without your blog, I am positive that I would have had to been sedated daily!!! Gracias de nuevo!

the e/n/t specialist has scheduled me for surgery..at the hospital..i'll be completely out for this…on monday. he said there's no other option but to cut into my lip (for the third time) and surgically remove the mucocele. one plus is he is a facial reconstruction plastic surgeon so, hopefully, he will be able to make my lip look normal. downside is there is no guarantee this mucocele will not come back. please have a good thought for me – i need it.

¿Cómo limpio. I just came across this, a day before I go into have a mucocele removed from my lower lip. I did a self diagnosis on this, thanks to a few Google searches. Went to the oral surgeon who agreed that it should come off. From the sound of previous folks who have gone under the knife (Or in this case sounds more like it will be a laser), I should anticipate a few days of discomfort, and some funky swelling of the lip? I am heading to the store to stock up on ice cream and soup to wait out the days that follow. At least it will be on a Friday, ready to just chill out over the weekend. I can onloy hope I don't share the same fate as poor Ardy. I was feeling pretty confident until I read that post…..

I had a mucocele come up about 2-3 months ago and it was all liquidy and I popped it, wished I would have had it looked at now because this time it came back and was more firm and bigger.

Thank god for this site. It has put my mind at rest I had a tumour cut out of my mouth 8 weeks ago they have not told me the name of it but it sounds like a mucocele, it took an hour and my lip is still numb it has come round a little but I am always concious of it. The hospital have told me it is benign. I too till have a hard lump inside my lip which actually feels like it swells up sometimes and worries me. I am going back to the surgeon on Thursday so will keep you posted as to what he says. Hopefully it is only scar tissue as other people have said.

I had a mucocele surgically removed a week ago. Mine was on the inside lower lip for 3 months with a predictable cycle: A small bump would form and continue to expand to a mucous filled cyst. If I bit it accidentally, I'd get the bluish, blood-filled look. Since it was uncomfortable, I'd often pop it with one of my sterile diabetic syringes which provided relief for about a week. The surgery to remove the clogged salivary glands was only half hour. The Doc said he didn't know which one was clogged so he removed them all, and the tissue looked like a tiny cluster of white grapes. Recovery was a little more drastic than I expected – very swollen, and black/blue on the top of my lip was well as the outside skin below my lip. It's still very numb. The Doc mentioned mucoceles can be caused by injury (prior dental work, biting the lip, and even spicey foods) as well as just getting older. He mentioned a recurrance rate at about 30% depending on how much of the clogged salivary glands remain behind. Also, get it taken care of ASAP because my Doc said he noticed a small cavern of scar tissue had formed on the inside of my lip to hold the reservoir of fluids that kept building up. Make that appointment right away!

Man, it's amazing how many people have left messages here, yet it's so hard to find information anywhere else! I'm pretty sure a mucocele is what I have – since the beginning of July. I am a student and have no health insurance so I was hoping it would go away on its own. It just got bigger…hopefully the dentist will be able to remove it on Dec 26th (best Christmas ever!)!
Dan dijo,
December 12, 2005 @ 5:39 am
I have mine for over 2 years and I thought that it was time to have it removed. And the oral surgeon will do so this afternoon.
He looked at it 2 weeks ago and said that it was not very big. But it is still big enough that once in a while I bite on it, and you can also see it is there, when I talk/smile.
The reason that it is somewhat smaller is that the doctor did drain it two times 2 years ago.
Susan said,
December 12, 2005 @ 12:20 pm
pregunta? does anyone else's mucocele appear/reappear frequently? I'm questioning if this is what I have. First of all, seems like everyone else's is on their lip, mine is in the back of my mouth on the inside of my cheek. Secondly, it goes down and then reappears throughout the day. ¿Es esto común? At first it was only one lump/bump whatever you want to call it, now it's two right next to eachother. Any response is appreciated
nadia said,
December 14, 2005 @ 8:13 pm
Gran página! I hadn't heard of a mucocele until this morning. I had mine for ~6 weeks and I'd decided it was some kind of blocked saliva gland (not far off) because it didn't seem like cancer
At first I thought it was a canker sore but it just kept getting bigger without ulcerating. At about half a centimeter I drained it myself (as in, scraping it open with my nails), but it would just heal and come right back, over and over again. So finally last week I tried to scrape it really well, but it was back and half a centimeter again…
This morning I went to the student health clinic at school and the doctor knew what it was right away. He said they sometimes go away on their own but it sounded like mine wasn't going to, so they could take it out.
He shot some lidocaine in my lip and scraped it out with a scalpel, closing it with 2 stitches. No specialists, no waiting. I don't have much swelling and unless I pout it actually hurts slightly less than the mucocele did in the first place. (I'm not exactly running out for nachos though!)
The doctor said they were really common and that I didn't need to get any pathology done on it. They let me poke it with the tweezers afterwards which was kind of interesting.
When I got back to my lab and told one of my friends that I just got something cut out of my mouth he said “Like a mucocele?”. I asked him why he didn't tell me about mucoceles 6 weeks earlier

hola. i have had a mucocele removed 7 weeks ago in my lower lip. after i had the stitches removed, another mucocele came right out of the scar. now i don't want to have another surgery, especially with the prospect of having even more mucoceles coming up after that ( like the comment someone earlier posted, i really feel with you). i have been reading about a non-invasive treatment for children. it is called micro-marsupialization and requires a suture to be put through the dome of the mucocele and left in for 7 days. the idea is that new ducts can form , so the saliva can escape. has anyone ever heard of this or had this procedure done? my oral surgeon hasn't and i am deperate to hear of someone…..

I had to stick a needle in it and theres a white dot thats always there.But now that i know what it is I'll be making a doctor appointment to get it removed, it's very annoying

hi i've had a lump on my lip like yours for ages, since 2005 april, i had exams then, so everyone was saying it was like an ulsar and it was probably because i was too stressed, but after the summer it just stopped shrinking, usually before it shrank occasionally and fluid things came out but now it's just hard. i keep pushing it against my teeth to pop it, but i don't know if i've made it worse, i hurts a little, wel i never got round to going to a doctor, and looking at your pictures im really really scared.

Hola a todos,
I had my very first mucocele about 10 months ago. I had it surgically removed. I agree with most of you – the surgery was not fun and it took months to fully recover.
I had a recurrence just a week ago. I'm not going to have a surgery again. Instead, I'm using Hydrogen Peroxide solution and swishing it around my mouth a few times/day. I hope this will work out. I will let you guys know how this goes.

Hola,
Aquí está una actualización. I had mine removed exactly a week ago. The surgery itself was without any pain, but there was some pain some hours later. The surgeon prescribed some painkillers and I took them that day and night. He also advized me to nibble on icechips to prevent swelling.
The days after I could feel it, but no pain. Since Saturday I noticed that sometimes I have a part of a stich in my mouth. There are disolving.
If I push on the outside of my lip today I still feel that it is a little bit swollen, but no pain at all. I can also see that there are stil a few stiches there.
The only thing is that part of my lip still feels a little numb, but probably the feeling will come back.
I happy that they are gone, and hope they won't come back.
Merry Chistmas/Happy Holidays

I had a mucocele on my lower lip that started when I had braces several years ago. It started as a very small and clear bubble and it would come and go one to three times a year. However, in Oct. of 2005 it swelled to four times its usual size. I had it removed early in Nov. and almost two weeks to the day after my surgery another one appeared at the bottom of the incision. So, at the end of Nov. I had that one removed. Everything was going well for about two and a half weeks. Then I got another one towards the bottom and off to side of the second incision.
It looks like I will be making another appointment for a mucocele removal. Hopefully the third time is the charm.
Like some of you, I have seen that marsupialization thing mentioned on a few websites and would like to find out more about this. It sounds a whole lot better than having a swollen lip for days, especially when you have multiple episodes of these things and don't know how many more are on the horizon.
As for the surgeries, my first one went very smoothly and I could eat pizza within four days.
My second one, however, was lower on my lip and was much more sore and made everything in the lower part of my face (jaw,teeth) sore for a couple of days and I was limited to soup for about a week.
For those who have the surgery and have any questions, complications or recurrences you should make an appointment with the doctor who did the surgery. You should not get charged anything for post-op appointments. I was not even charged for my second removal. I don't know yet about this third mucocele, but I will let you know when I find out something.

Hola!
Thank you for everyone sharing information.
I wanted to share my experience with the annoying mucocel.
I had a mucocel for 7 months and my doctor at first told me it was a wart. Great- try explaining that to your coworkers- I had started to take homeopathy for warts hoping that would work. My doctor had no clue what this was and sent me off to the dermatoligist- 3 month wait. The kind dermatologist diagnosed it as a mucocel and his option was to burn it with nitrogen. I was hesitant with this bandage remedy so I seeked a dentist opinion. My dentist sent me to a dental surgeon who set up an operation to remove it. They had informed me that they had never seen one recur after the operation. Everyone knows where this story is going…… Well the operation wasn't that bad and the staff was great BUT—- 2 weeks and a day I have another one just to the left of the incision. I am not a lip bitter I must add. I am not going to venture down the western medicine path again with this as the problem was not resolved. My only advice is to not decide on an invasive surgery option without checking out all other means. I am now searching for an holistic rememdy.
If anyone has had any luck with this I would greatly appreciate your knowledge. Thank you and good luck.

I recently developed a sort of movable lump on the left side of my mouth. It isn't visible when I look at in the mirror, and I'm not sure what it is. It seems like it just developed overnight and I'm not sure what to do. I think I'm just going to wait and see if it gets worse and maybe it will just go away.

I notice I had a clear hard bubble type thing under my tongue! It's been there for a while, it hasn't gotten any bigger and i was just wondering if that would be considered a Mucocele? or would anyone know what else it might be?

hi…here's an update from me. my surgery went fine – the “mucocele” i had developed into a pyloric granuloma – a continually bleeding cyst. these things never heal and they bleed all the time – it explains a lot. you can imagine the hell i was going thru. don't you love it when people look at you with that, “what's that THING on your lip???” expression on their face, like they think you don't know it's there…ugh! anyways, the ears/nose/throat/plastic surgeon who removed it said it is unknown how it came to be. he did a fantastic job, even though it was expensive, i would've paid anything to fix this. i'm just thankful it is gone now and my lip has healed. there is a small dent on my lip but it's only noticeable to me. please, people…keep your hands out of your mouths, fingernails are the best keepers for germs. make sure you are seeing a physician who can handle this. i possibly could've saved myself 2 months of pain, agony and worry had i seen a specialist first. thanks a million for having this site here for those of us with such a bizarre common link. i wish you all good health, healing and the best of luck with your chosen treatment. ~ardy~

hi ardy,
thanks for sharing and congratulations! it is so great that you finally got rid of it. (i have currently my second mucocele after surgery and a lot of pain.) i was wondering what kind of doctor did your first two surgeries? and how did you manage to find a capable plastic surgeon for your problem?
thanks in advance, i really do appreciate this!
ardy said,
January 6, 2006 @ 9:22 pm
gracias. my dentist referred me to an oral surgeon. due to scheduling conflicts, the oral surgeon couldn't do the procedure in a time frame i was comfy with….and prompted by the fact that this thing wasn't healing, i went to a general practitioner at an urgent care facility. my intention was to get some sort of medicine to heal the sore before it could be removed. that doctor said, “i can remove that today, if you like. i've done several of these things.” so, being naive and desperate, i took him up on it. unfortunately, he wasn't as good at as he implied. the first surgery, he used dissolvable sutures that dissolved too quickly and left me with not just the one mucocele, but another quickly developed inside of two weeks. so i went back to the urgent care, and another doctor, the higher-up one, removed those two cysts. but..as my luck would have it, at the top and bottom of the stitch sites, mucoceles appeared again, with a vengeance – angry, bleeding, not healing. i called that doctor and said if this was becoming too much for them to handle then please refer me to someone who can deal with this accordingly. they referred me to the ears/nose/throat/facial reconstructive plastic surgeon who took one look at me and said he doubted these were mucoceles and that i had a raging infection. he quickly put me on antibiotics, which helped ease the infection and scheduled me for surgery at the hospital to remove what turned out to be the “pyogenic granuloma” (i had the wrong name in the earlier post.) so my point was to those who are still suffering to seek a competent professional who deals with this exact type of problem. i was more concerned with just getting rid of it that i didn't take a moment to investigate if the first docs were capable of handling it. they're great when we have colds or pull a muscle, but stuff like this we'll see the specialists from now on. lession learned.. a very hard, painful lesson learned. (this is not to discredit those who have seen regular docs and had a successful outcome…i'm glad for you that it worked out. this is just my experience.)

this is so funny…i didnt know that there was this much info on it…i just went into my dentist today and he said in like 2 seconds that it was a mucocele…he said they do not go away on their own and that i should just have the oral surgeon remove it when i get my wisdom teeth out…he said they're nothing severe and to not worry…but i always bite at mine and i guess thats not good to do…so leave it alone..
great info guys

Hi, my name is Katie and I am 12. I just found out I had I mucocele today. I have had it for about 5 months, and my parents and I thought it was a canker sore, so I had had been treating it with ameson and any other product I could get my hands on, but it never went away. So, my mom took my to the doctor and she said it was a mucocele, but she couldn't treat it and I would have to see a speciality doctor (I forgot what they are called) to do anything about it. The doctor took a look at it and said it was a mucocele and I would have to get surgery to remove it. My appointment is next Monday (1-16-06)

Acabo de encontrar este sitio. Great site. I think i have a mucolcele, at least that is what i hope it is. I am making an appointment too go see a doctor soon. A few questions for you all, sometimes ill accidently bite it, its on the inside of my lip, exactly the same place as the pics up above, and when i bite it puss oozes out, and the whole lump will decrease in size. At first i thought it was a canker sore, it would almost go away but never quite all the way and than would come back again. Anyone else have this same problem??? Gracias, Scott

Has anyone had any luck with homeopathic or holistic remedies in getting rid of their mucocele? I had my first mucocele taken out a few weeks ago, and now it seems like it's regrowing. I really don't want to go through invasive surgery again if there are other less extreme ways of getting rid of them. Cualquier ayuda sería muy apreciada.
ardy said,
January 14, 2006 @ 11:45 am
to answer the insurance question: depending on your policy, it should be covered as a “cyst removal” or something to that effect. in my case, all was covered, except for the deductible that i am required to pay – which is $2000 – then my coverages kick in 100%. until the deductible is met, the coverage is only 70% as long as i use a doctor who is IN network – out of network is not covered at all. all policies are different – definitely check with customer service for your insurance so that you are informed.
scott: be extremely careful – if pus is coming out, it sounds as though you have an infected site. it could get a lot worse. definitely see a doctor/specialist and try not to bite into it. the mouth is a harbor for germs. i wouldn't want anyone to go thru what i went thru. buena suerte.
i bought every single mouth/sore remedy i could get my hands on – to no avail. re: homeopathic/holistic remedies, there may be some posted on the web, however, with my experience, the ONLY thing that worked was surgery. buena suerte.

Renzo Hi,
I would be also interested about non invasive method to get rid of my mucocele. I had had it 2 months ago, I had removed it surgically and it came back almost immediately. If you will find something please let me know. I tried accupuncturing but NOTHING.

Thank you for this wonderful information. Mine came up about a month and a half ago. Initially i thought it was a canker sore (i just happened to have a canker in another spot at the same time – but it went away in a few days). Within a week i started to worry – it was really gross looking (still is)And nothing i found on the web was very useful or comforting. It formed many tiny white bumps as it swelled and occasionally i could taste something strange – like that metallic taste that blood has- something was slowly leaking out of it. After a couple weeks it started to shrink, then swelled again, shrunk, and has swelled a third time. It sometimes looks bluish or yellowish underneath the white nobbly things, usually has a dark red ring around the base and feels likes a little ball. It also feels like there is a tendon or some such thing running from the base of it toward the back of my cheek (I hope this won't complicate the surgery). When i saw my doctor she described it as an overgrowth of tissue – much like a wart. After reading this site and looking at the pictures i'm convinced it's a mucocele (wonder why she just didn't say so?) I'm having it removed on the 1st of February by a oral maxillo-facial surgeon (the same guy that pulls wisdom teeth)

i had a mucocele removed about 3 years ago. I bit my lip the other day in the place it was by accident and by the next day, it appears i now have another one. will prolly have to have this one cut out too. surgery is not too bad. they inject numbing stuff in your lip and cut it out and stitch it up in about 15 minutes. this one is not as big as the first one ( which was getting to the point of small grape size.)

Hola a todos,
Use surgery only as the last resort when you experience a mucocele in your mouth. Please, please try Hydrogen Peroxide intstead. I had a re-occurrence last December and just by using Hydrogen Peroxide (by swishing it in my mouth several times/day) the mucocele dissappeared.
Brikena
ardy said,
January 19, 2006 @ 11:31 am
brikena, yes, hydrogen peroxide can be used as a mouthwash and can, in some people, help to heal mouth sores and minor irritations. i did use HP for my mucocele/cyst and it did nothing. surgery was not high on my list of options. what works for one person may not be the best for another. i say, if you can get it to go away, regardless of the method, then good on ya!

I have been really stressed out lately, and I think I have been sucking on my lower lip without even realizing. I woke up the other day with a small “lump on my lip” that looks VERY similar to yours. It doesn't hurt at all, and it is not blue or anything. I saw the picures… and I am NOT fond of any pain, but it looks like I will have to head off to the doctors. I don't have health insurance so, should I see the campus doctor (i'm in college) first or a dentist..or just head off to the local walk-in clinic??
Thanks for any who reply..
A little scared of the whole process..

Thank you so much for your web site! I'm living in northern Iraq, teaching English, so it was good to be informed before I decided on surgery. My cyst looked almost exactly the same as yours and I managed to find a good doctor to take it out at a public hospital. I can't say I wasn't scared, especially given the quality of the medical care and the levels of cleanliness here. It took about 20 minutes and I had little post-op pain. I've sort of pulled the stitches out of one side because I still keep biting the same spot but I hope it works. The surgery cost only $1.30 and I'll get the stitches totally removed tomorrow.

HI,
MY son has had this since August. It fills up and looks awful, but he says it doesn't hurt. Eventually it went way way down and I thought that was the end of it. Just the other day, after he got the flu btw, it came back. I took him to the doctor and he said “hmm I think an ENT should look at that” FREAK OUT! You are right never attempt to look up “wierd mouth sore” or Funny lump on lip, it will have you crying in the corner. ON the other hand, cancer does not get big then go away then get big again. It just gets big and then gets bigger. Anyhoo, I am so glad I found this site, (not exactly sure how I came across it) He has a dentist appt on Feb 1st and an appt with the ent Feb 6th. Think judging by the photos, I may just leave it alone as long as he isnt' bothered by it, I really dont' want to put a 7year old through that. My guess is the dentist will say “ho hum” Think I will send this link to his doctor, who needs to know better than to scare parents.

Ok, aquí está mi historia. As most of you I had discovered a wierd bump on my lip and I did some research on the net and all I found was Mouth Cancer! I was pretty scared since that is what I thought I had being someone who chews tobacco and all. I noticed the bump on the lower inside of my lip one day and thought that it was strange. It did not bother me at first but it just kept ketting bigger. This bump was right where I kept that tobacco in my lip. I immediatley STOPPED using tobacco but the bump was still there. I researched and all I saw was MOUTH CANCER! Most web sites said to give it 2 weeks and if it doesn't go away then get to a doctor as it could be Mouth cance. I gave it 3 weeks but it was still there. I went into some minor depression over the weekend thinking OMG what have I done. I have Cancer how stupid am I for using tobacco! My use of tobacco was a habbit I picked up just recently playing Golf. After a ruined weeked I decided to do one last search before calling the Doctor. I then find this site. I see the pictures and I say hay I think that is what I have. It looks the same and it feels the same it must be a Mucocele. Because I was a user of tobacco just to be safe I made an appointment to see my doctor. I suggest anyone does this by the way if you have a bump that doesn't go away. When the Doc comes in the room I show him my nagging bump and the first thing he say's is “Oh thats a Mucocele”. In my head I say “YES!” Then the Doc say's I prefer not to do surgery because they are hard to remove and often come back. His advice was to give it time and it will go away. I left the office a much happier man. It is now 1 week later and the Mucocele is gone. I do not know when it dissapeard but I think that the stress is gone and I forgot about it and it finally went away. I have since gave up the Tobacco. Please, if you have any kinda bump in your mouth that is not normal go to the Doctor they know best. However, this site was a great form of info for me. Thank You!!

Hey, I did a search on google for “lump in mouth” and got this and read. I don't think mines a mucocele. It's in my right cheek, near the teeth, it's very small, sore, I can move it around a bit and I'm afraid to squish it, but i think it's a squishy-firm. Anyone heard of this? It's not in my right cheek, nor does anyone else I know know what it is.

Hola,
I just found a “lump in mouth” and went searching for some info and came upon your site! I now believe I have a mucocele – looks exactly like the picture. I am going to wait until next week to go to the Doctors since it is the weekend. I still don't get “how” these are formed or happen -the medical term is too confusing. Can someone explain – thanks. Also, once they are removed am I able to get one again?
Gracias de nuevo,

ardy said,
January 29, 2006 @ 4:03 pm
they can appear as a result of trauma (ie, biting your lip, getting hit in the mouth) or they just appear with no explanation. it is possible for them to come back if removed – there is no guarantee. make sure you see a physician who is well informed about these and don't hesitate to get a 2nd opinion. buena suerte.

I just had my mucocele removed today. Everything seems okay at this point. The pain is not TOO bad. I will say that I wish I hadn't spent any time reading this entire blog post-op. So many negative stories…I'm optimistic…However, I will say this…if you have a mucocele…wait at least 6-8 weeks until you decide to get surgery. Many times it just dissapears on its own.

My son who is 8 just had his 3rd mucocele removed today. The first oral surgeon removed it (from under his tongue) by excising it and stitching it up and only using novacaine. It was a very traumatic experience and when it came back just 3 weeks later he was terrified. We found a surgeon who used the laser technique and we had him put under with versed and “happy gas” and it was a much better experience. Except for the fact that it reoccured for the 3rd time. Here's hoping 3x is a charm. To all moms out there-make sure you buckle your kids up while they're in the stroller-my son climbed out of his at 2 yrs. old and practically bit his tongue off. Had 7 stitches and hence the truama to the tongue that we are now having multiple surgeries for!

Hola,
Gracias por las fotos. I've had the same thing for nearly 2 years. My dentist had told me the same thing, I mean it's just a Mucocele and I could leave it if it doesn't bother me, but with all repsect to my dentist I always think it cancer or hiv symptom and that the dentist been supportive and doesn't want to freak me out as every single research about Limp and mouth drives you staright to mouth cancer. To be honest..The Mucocele changed my life..I've been completely different person to my personlity I'm sulky and not sociable anymore as I don't like others to see my mucocele on my mouth and also I didn't have courage to go for surgery because I haven't seen anyone before with this kind of limp. I hope I will sort it out soon especially I need to go for job interviews and when I speak it appears out of my lower lip or I have to speak strange and cautious way which is not good for me. Let's hope it's a simple surgery.
Thank you very much for pics and your support.

I have had similar thing in my lips for some months and I was worried. Initially, i went to the dentist and he examined and told me there is nothing to worry, though he did not tell me if i had mucocele. But he confidently vanished the thoughts of me having some sort of lip cancer.
i dont smoke or drink or chew. Though i have had a lot of exposure to sun (as i play cricket) so i was worried about the freaky lip cancer thing.
Thanks to you you cleared all my doubts. Gracias
Now I'll look for a surgery to root it out inshaAllah.
Surely, google should be a little less robotic and index this page on top when someone searches for 'bump in lower lip'.

Tengo la misma cosa. I bit my lip during Christmas time and usually when I bite my lip, it heals in about a week. Well, I bit it again before it healed, in the same spot, and then after a month when the “blister” still didn't go away, I got scared. I still have it and it goes down and comes back up, goes away, comes back, I am considering the surgery. I will make a dentist appointment very soon. Thanks for your pics and all the info, you guys are great!

Does anyones lump change with what you eat or drink. I have the same exact lump, it's soft and I even popped it a couple of times and that clear sticky stuff came out. Now, it seems to get bigger with certain things I eat. No pain really involved, just discomfort. As everyone said though better than the big “C”. Thank you LORD…

Yup , I managed to make mine bigger with Coke n spicy food, but usually only in the afternoons. It'd go down overnight. I went to see the MD after 3-4 weeks and he confirmed it [ I told him what it was called, thanks to this site, because he couldn't remember ].It would have cost me $250 Australian dollars to cut out, but now 2 weeks later it's almost totally gone [ was 0.5 cm before ]. I wonder if these things are somehow stress related and can disappear with a bit o relaxation by beleiving it's just like a pimple, which is a blocked up skin duct, just on the inside? I reckon it's the easiest and cheapest remedy without pain. Do we have anyone out there who wants to be a guinea pig and trial this theory? Scott lost his back in August on this post and I haven't seen him post since. Anyone had one go and not come back?
Jeff dijo,
February 14, 2006 @ 6:07 pm
Thanks Marco, I was wondering the same thing about stress. We are going through some very stressful times in our lives right now and this thing flared up un-invited of course and doesn't seem to want to go down. In fact it seems to be getting bigger. I suppose if I were relaxed I wouldn't be biting at it or rubbing my tongue across it every other second. The ball under the skin is soft and squishy still and that makes me want to pop it. ¿Debería? What can I do in the mean time until I can get to the DR. What kind of DR should I go to? Oral, Dermatologist or GP?
Frustrated and irritated with this darn thing.
Thanks for your or anyone's help.

February 19, 2006 @ 9:21 pm
you can start by seeing your dentist. if you don't have a dentist, you can see a general practitioner or primary care physician. chances are he/she will refer you to an “ears/nose/throat” specialist for further diagnosis and treatment. as for herpes, those symptons come and go and are usually painful, open, and can scab over – like really bad cold sores. mucoceles rarely are 'open', ie, bleeding, weeping, etc. for the sake of an accurate diagnosis and treatment options, please see a health care professional. buena suerte.

It has come back again and finally going to a nurse practioner here at school, she diagnosed it and now all I have to do is go to the oral surgeon. Too bad my oral surgeon is about 400 miles away. But, at least I finally have a diagnosis!! I'm normal! And I'm glad to be normal with every one who has posted!!

Hi again,
I have a question for anyone who has gone through surgery in order to remove the mucocele. Has anyone experienced a DRY MOUTH after the surgery (even though months have passed), especially when you wake up in the morning? All answers will be greatly appreciated.

What about the stiches? Do you need to go back to the doctor to get them removed?

I'm so glad I have found this site. About one week ago i discovered a small round cyst on the inside lower left of my cheek. Unlike the ones decribed on the site, mine is not bluish in color nor can it be seen from the surface, just felt. It's painless but I'm scared its a tumor or something. Has anyone had this kind of Mucocele?

Bueno ...
I have had 3 removals so far, and now I am going to have yet another one removed.
This is getting insane.
Anyone else in a similar situation?

I noticed this lump in my lip yesterday it is exactly what you have discribed and it is a relief it is not oral cancer. I did bit it all day and it seems it has gotten bigger from bitting it.

WOW !!!!!! I've found my people!
I actually called my mom up last night when I found this site and said, “Mom! I found a group of people just like me!” and she said, “Hypochandriacs?”
Ooooh, at the end of August I thought I had a canker sore. Two weeks later when it was still there I started freaking out, eliminating certain foods, etc. It would get small and then get big again. I was in Virginia at the time, finishing up with a live-in caregiver job. In December I came home (Maine) for christmas and went to the dentist who told me it was a “Papilloma” and they normally go away on their own but he would remove mine. The day after it was removed, It grew back! Very small, but I went off to NY for my new job and it got bigger and bigger until finally I called an oral surgeon one morning for emergency surgery. He cut it off and I went in a week later to get a stitch removed that hadn't dissolved, and it was looking irritated, just below the incision. He said, “Tell me, when this thing first started, did it get big and small, big and small?” I said yes. He said, “Ah! You've been misdiagnosed! It's a mucocele!” He cut even deeper and stitched me up, (The best part is he didn't scharge me a thing for the second surgery, and the first surgery he only charged me less than a quarter of what he normally charged for that!) Anyway, I was laughing at your description, David, of the whole thing because it's EXACTLY what happened to me! RIght down to the Squishing your cheeks together when you smiled thing! HAha. Anyway, I've gone in for two check ups and I have one more in a month and he said it's looking great – I DO have a small lump left that he says is just scar tissue (In case anyone here gets that they won't freak out like I almost did!)
I love the person who said that if their's wasn't removed it would have surely taken over their face. I laughed so hard at that! I get these newsletters from Mercy Ships and read about these people who get little lumps on their lip and they get SO humongous that it takes over their face and then the ercy ship comes and rescues them. I thought for sure it would happen to me. SO glad I found such a big group of “Mucocele Survivors!!!!” This is great!

hey, i got one last week.. it showed up about wednesday and its only been a week and its already gone. it was pretty big and you could see it when my mouth was open just a little. i was freaking out becuase i didnt want surgery but my dentist actually told me what to do and it went away real fast. when you bite your lip, it pinches off a salivary gland and so all the saliva can't go anywhere and it builds up which is what forms a mucocele. if you keep hot moist compresses on it, it relaxes the gland and allows for the saliva to dissipate. so just keep a hot towel on it and in most cases it should go down after days or a couple weeks. also dont bite it again cause it will just reopen and spread! hope i could be of help to anyone!

I had a mucocelle which did go down after about 3 weeks of not biting it. I had it for about a month and a half and hated it. I was almost ready to go to my dentist to get it taken out. This may sound gross, but I even went as far as to pop the mucocelle with a sterile needle every 3-5 days when I felt it getting bigger. It didn't hurt, but it quite interesting putting a needle in my lip. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Im just one of those non squeemish risk takers. Or you could say stupid. I won't argue.

Like ya'all I too had a lump appear. Mine was on my center, upper lip. I found it while driving one day and was scared to death.
I had a dentist appointment the next day so I showed it to her. She played with it and told me it looked like a Mucocele. She said it was nothing to worry about as long as it didn't bother me and I didn't bite it.
Mine was about the size of a pencil eraser and would fluctuate between being rather firm and squishy. It was dark, looking a lot like a blood blister or hemorrhoid.
Anyways, a couple days ago it got about 50% larger and remained rather hard and was starting to be visible when I smiled, causing my lip to protrude slightly.
I visited the local oral surgeon and was greeted with a week wait before I could get in to see him. I begged and pleaded (which did no good) but also offered to be on their “standby list” in case anyone cancelled. Luck would have it the very next day they called and wanted to know if I could be there in a hour. NO PROBLEM!!!
The OS looked at it and within 1 second said “You have a Mucocele” partner. Really glad to hear him say that rather than going “Owwww… Hey Joe come look at THIS!”
As luck would have it he offered to take care of it that same day (cool). The *only* part that hurt were the initial shots. I'm sure I bent his headrest trying to get away from his needle. It wasn't that bad, but did sting a bit.
During the procedure I felt *nothing* and I mean *nothing*. That is a good thing.
After he was done, he told me it was really not a Mucocele, but rather a vascular bundle with a blood clot at the end. He said not to worry was most likely caused by some trauma to that area in the past and I should be back to not looking like a Ubangy soon.
I just *had* to see what they took out so the assistant gave me a peek. Looked like a small piece of liver to me. Yuk.
So anyway, all that happened today, I have virtually no pain this evening, but it does feel a little sore and the stitches are annoying.
I hope this takes care of it for good.

Great info… I have the same mucocele at the same spot as your picture. funny. mine comes and goes, sometimes within one day. I try to make a doctor appointment but by the time I remember to call, the darn thing is gone. My mother-in-law has the same problem. Could be bad biting patterns.

My mucocelle surgery happened 3 months ago now, the tip of my lower lip above the surgery is still a bit numb.. feels like ants marching on it if I touch it.
How are your surgery healing guys? Anyone else experiencing something similar? If you had similar symptoms can you write how long did it take for the nerves to heal?

Wow !! I have been freaking about this hard blister looking thing that is really small and then gets bigger and then pops and then comes back. I was like paranoid. I am going to make a call to my oral surgeon. I am so thankful for this blog here because you cant find anything on the web for it and all that comes up is doom and gloom. Thank you so much for this : ) Roxy

Hola,
Thank you so much for your sight.
I thought I would relate my story to perhaps help someone else.
I discovered a lump in my mouth in the Fall.
By Christmas, it had become about the size of a pea under the skin, and swollen around it and I was able to move it around slightly. It seemed to get bigger the more that I “tongued” it, which is hard to stop when there is something like that in your mouth. Caffeine also seemed to irritate it.
As many others on this sight did, I googled lump in mouth and of course came up with all kinds of cancer sights.
After several months of worrying I went to a GP who wanted to refer me to an oral surgeon immediately to “get this thing taken care of.”
The GP would not rule out the possibility of cancer.
Of course by now I was a nervous wreck, and scheduled the appointment with the oral surgeon.
During the course of conversation with the GP, I did remember the word “cyst”. I later googled cyst and came up with your website.
After reading your website, I did the following:
1. Cancelled the oral surgeon appointment.
2. Made a concious effort to stop playing with the lump with my tongue.
3. Applied hydrogen peroxide to the lump in the morning and night with a Q-tip
4. Made sure not to hit the lump with my toothbrush.
I am happy to report that as of this date the lump is virtually non-existent!
Thanks again for helping me out with your sight and hope my “do it yourself” tips will help someone else.

Me again! Wanted to mention one more thing to you – several people have mentioned that they had their mucocele removed only to have it grow back right next to the scar? Well, mine was first diagnosed as a papilloma – when it was removed (For the second time, by a different Dr.) it grew back next to the scar and when I went back he said it wasn'ta papilloma, but a mucocele – and the way to take care of it is to remove the salivary gland – because that's the culprit – he did and that was more than a month ago and I haven't had any problems – I would definaltly make sure the Dr. Removes the salivary gland, because that's the whole problem, and that's why my “Papilloma” kept returning because all they were doing was removing the symptom.

I just got back from the doctors. I have a suspected mucocele (i think) but i have to wait for the oral specialist to confirm it. Nearly everyone on here seems to have it on their lip but mine is under my tongue. Having smoked 30 a day for the last 6 years and being a heavy drinker. Needless to say IS**t my pants when I found it espescially since I have a wierd overgrown bit of gum aswell that i never got checked out till now. The thing that really set me off into a panic is when i was sitting in the doctors waiting room I was facing a big poster with the headline. “Mouth cancer – it could be you”. I think my surgery, if I need it, will be a bit of pain though considering the location. I'll report back with th details. Oh and I have now quit smoking, I don't want a repeat performance with a different outcome.

MINE WENT AWAY ON ITS OWN!
My mucocele appeared in early January. Of course, at that time I didn't know what it was. After searching for “lip blister” online all I came up with was herpes even though the blister/cyst looked nothing like that. I poked, prodded, and squeezed the blister to no avail and soon gave up. Luckily, I found this site and diagnosed myself with a mucocele–it looked just like the picture and was just as big. The diagnosis was later confirmed by a doctor who referred me to my dentist. Because of my busy schedule and the fact that the mucocle was on my inner lip and not visible unless I pulled down my lip, I put off my appointment and vowed to leave the cyst alone. Well, it started getting smaller last week and now it's gone except for a tiny bump no bigger than a pin head. I'm glad I waited to see an oral surgeon and have it removed. My advice would be to just leave it alone for awhile and hopefully it will go away on its own. Unless, of course, it's visible from the outside–those things are pretty ugly. I'm keeping a close eye on mine and will let you know if it comes back.

I have a mucocele right now and I identified it online and read a little about it. I can't afford to go to a doctor or a dentist, but I'ma musician and when I was singing it was driving me CRAZY, so I popped it. It was a good temporary solution, but it came back so I popped it again and really tried to get all the goo out. It just kept coming back – and quick! It would swell up again, sometimes within a matter of hours! So I have a big show tonight and I couldn't deal with that thing driving me nuts all night so I just stabbed the hell out of it with a pin. I mean, I really destroyed the thing to the point where I just have a hole where it used to be and it kind of feels like I bit my lip really bad. I know I probably sound like an idiot for doing that, but I had to do something before I went on stage tonight or I would have focused on it all night. Every time I mess with it, I use a sterile needle and wash my mouth out before and after really well with listerine. I'll let you know if it grows back.

Simple Relief: Use a rinse of 1/2 Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/2 water for 3+ weeks. Don't swallow the rinse; leave in mouth for about 5-10 minutes, then rinse well with water. This really helped in my situation. I was diagnosed with a mucocele about 2 months ago and read everything I could find about it, especiallly the comments in this blog. My doctor recommended surgery. It was not encouraging to see that even the surgery, which can be unpleasant, does not guarantee the thing will go away — lots of folks said they come back. I had also just had some other minor surgery and was willing to try anything to avoid more surgery. Somewhere I'd read a comment suggesting the hydrogen peroxide rinse and thought it worth a try. My problem has not entirely disappeared, but it's much improved and the mucocele cannot even be felt from outside my cheek now (formerly was the size of an almond). You have to be patient and diligent to get these good effects, but I recommend at least trying this because it's simple, cheap, and involves no surgery.

Yeah, I was patient and diligent for five months and the thing kept getting bigger and bigger. IF the oral Surgeon removes the salivary gland, there's no way it can return!

After biting the s**t out of my lower lip last December, I developed a bump that gradually grew to about 1 cm in width … not painful or super noticeable, but annoying as hell. After finding this site I was 99% sure the thing was a mucocele, but I went to the Doc anyways. Sure enough, within one minute of examination the Doc says, “Without a doubt … a mucocele.”
So … I tried the hydrogen peroxide thing, and it does help … but ultimately this thing's not going away. My plastic surgery appointment is for Monday morning (3/27). Voy a dejar que todos sepan cómo va.

Thank you so much for posting this site. I haven't seen the doctor yet but it looks and sounds like this is what I have. I have been freaking out that I have cancer and now I am praying that this is what the doctor will tell me I have. It looks just like the pictures you posted and is in the same place on my lower lip. Interestingly I had a really bad cold when it first appeared. I wonder if that contributed to it. Your site has brought me relief knowing that there are other possibilities besides cancer. Muchas gracias.

I have had a Mucocole for about a month and a half now or more. I didnt know what it was and was really scared to go get it checked out. I had bit it and drained all fluid in it about 5-7 times. It would go down and within a day it would be back. I started getting scared thinking it was a cyst or tumor. Cancer runs in my family, and i have had problems with cysts before. Finally I gave in and went to urgent care. Found out it was only a Mucocole, the doctor has refered me to the Head, Neck and sergury department. I have my appt next monday. Im kind of scared though…I dont know what they are going to do. But I know it could be worse.

I had my surgery this morning. The plastic surgeon said everything went well. The whole procedure lasted around 20-30 minutes and was about what I expected. First, the surgeon gave me a couple of shots of local anesthesia, which were as painful as you'd expect shots in the lip to be; not unbearable, but certainly uncomfortable. After that, pretty much all feeling in my general mouth area was gone … didn't feel the initial cut, excision of the mucocele, or any of the stitches, although I could hear and see all of this happening. Bleeding was minimal, and before I knew it, I was ready to go. It's now around 12 hours later and the pain and swelling are not too bad. Eating is tricky … It'll be soup and smoothies for a couple of days … If anyone reading this has any questions for me I'd be happy to answer them … just post re:roger … I'll be checking this site frequently over the next few days … thanks again to the moderator of this blog … it has helped me tremendously

omygosh!! i think i have a mucocele (what a wierd name, sounds like a ukelele.) my dad says he had one when he was in 12th grade too, so maybe its hereditary?? anyways, i have never had any surgery in my life and i am afraid of shots. so i hope i don't have to have it surgically removed. it popped up a few days ago and its been growing like CRAZY (its now about a cm, on the left of my lower lip). its not painful at all but I HATE IT!! i feel like people can see it and it makes putting on lip gloss such a pain. anyways, thanks for this information. it helped.

Well, when you've had a gross looking thing on your lip for months and months and it effects the way you talk and you lose your appetite over the whole thing, you really don't care how it goes, so long as it goes! I'm with several other people here, in that if I hadn't gone to the surgeon I would have done it myself! I would rather have been deformed for life than have that thing for life. Went for my last check up yesterday and the dr. declared me officiolly cured! YAAAAAAAAAY!
