Multiple superficial oral mucoceles after Mycoplasma-induced mucositis

Meggie Morand et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2018 Jul.

Abstract

Oral mucoceles are lesions arising mainly from the minor salivary glands and are thought to occur after excretory duct trauma. We report a case of multiple superficial oral mucoceles on a child's labial mucosa after Mycoplasma pneumoniae mucositis. Mucoceles can mimic persistent or recurrent stomatitis and lead to potential errors in management.

Keywords: dermatopathology; infection-viral; lumps/bumps; mucous membrane disorders.
