We found a case of salivary mucocele that originated in the minor salivary gland (palatine gland) of the soft palate in a dog. At first admission, the soft palate swelled remarkably. Computed tomography (CT) revealed cystic radiolucency inside a large quantity of liquid in the soft palate, and most of the airway was occupied. Marsupialization was performed, but since a recurrence was observed o...

Salivary mucocele is a common lesion derived from minor salivary glands with various surgical or non-surgical treatment modalities. To evaluate the effect of a highly potent corticosteroid (dexamethasone) in the management of salivary mucocele, we performed intralesional injection of dexamethasone in nine patients with labial mucocele. Complete healing of lesions observed in seven of nine patie...

A 4-year-old, male, dachshund was referred to a certain local veterinary hospital because of a soft and fluctuant swelling in the left upper cervical region. The swelling was surgically removed and appeared to be filled with bloody mucus.

Laparoscopic resection of appendiceal mucoceles has recently been described, but the safety and efficacy are controversial. We present two cases of laparoscopic mucocelectomies involving 14 and 15 cm cystic masses originating from the appendix. The laparoscopic mucocelectomies were performed using four ports. From the beginning of the procedure, a laparoscopic bag was used to safely contain the...

Mucocele of the appendix is a nonspecific term that is used to describe an appendix abnormally distended with mucus. This may be the result of either neoplastic or non-neopleastic causes and may present like most appendiceal pathology with either mild abdominal pain or life-threatening peritonitis. Urologic manifestations of mucocele of the appendix have rarely been reported. Laparoscopy can be...

a male patient at necropsy. t Large numbers of cases of ovarian origin have been described but the disease when secondary to appendicular mucocele is relatively rare. Weaver (loc. cit.) reported an incidence of 7 mucoceles in 6,225 appendicectomies and only one associated with peritoneal pseudomyxoma.
