Mucoceles 當小唾液腺受傷時形成，導致唾液積聚在阻塞的導管中。這些增生通常無痛、光滑，可能呈藍色或透明，大小通常不超過 1 公分。治療包括手術切除，有時外科醫生也會切除附近的腺體以防止復發。
Mucocele develops as a consequence of mechanical trauma to a minor salivary gland, which is followed by saliva retention and accumulation inside the blocked and dilated excretory ducts of the gland. Lesions are usually painless, with smooth surfaces, bluish or transparent. Most are not larger than 1 cm in diameter. They are treated by surgical removal; at that time, the surgeon often decides to perform the ablation of the neighboring minor salivary glands in order to prevent relapses.

發現黏液囊腫最常見的位置是下唇的內表面。有些黏液囊腫會在短時間內自行消退。其他的是慢性的，需要手術切除。
