Effective treatment of multiple oral mucoceles.

Abstract

Multiple oral mucoceles, in contrast to a solitary mucocele, often present with significant foreign body sensations and pain. This rare clinical manifestation is a challenge to clinicians regarding treatment options. This report describes a rare case characterized by the presence of more than 100 painful mucoceles on the oral mucosa. The patient showed a substantial improvement following treatment including oral prednisone and topical tacrolimus and triamcinolone acetonide. Notably, no noticeable recurrence was observed at the 1-year follow-up. To date, there are no similar documented cases displaying such a favourable therapeutic outcome. These findings emphasize the importance of delivering symptomatic treatment for challenging and persistent diseases.
