Abstract

Submandibular Gland Mucocele:The mucocele occuring in the submandibular region is rare; most cases originate in the sublingual gland. Here, we report a rare case of mucocele originating in the submandibular gland. In this report, we present such a case in a 7-year-old boy, who was treated by an extirpation of cyst with submandibular and sublin-gual gland.
