Needle and Nodule: A Case of Intra‐Lesional Success in Oral Mucocele Treatment
A 26-year-old male with a lower lip mucocele was successfully treated using weekly intralesional injection of Dexamethasone (2 mL) for 3 weeks. This non-surgical approach leads to the complete resolution of the lesion within a four-week duration with no recurrence during follow-up. Such a treatment modality highlights the effectiveness as a minimally invasive alternative for the management of mucocele of the oral cavity.
