Who's At Risk
Mucoceles are common in anyone experiences injury to the mouth. They often occur in children or young adults who are lip biters or who wear braces. A similar lesion, called a mucus-retention cyst is more common in older adults who have not had any injury to their lips. Unlike mucoceles, these mucus-retention cysts tend to look less like fluid-filled blisters and more like small bumps. They are also painless and noncancerous (benign).
