Abstrakt:	Introduction: A mucoid cyst is a benign lesion in the oral mucosa resulting from the rupture of a salivary gland duct and the subsequent discharge of mucin into the soft tissues. Mucoceles are more common in children and young adults, and the most common site is the lower inner lips. Cases Series Presentation: We describe 3 clinical cases managed in service between 2022 and 2023. Clinical cases are presented in order to detail their clinical history, paraclinical and treatment. Discussion and Conclusion: In general, mucoceles tend to resolve spontaneously, but can sometimes interfere with swallowing or speech. Therefore, in such cases, these lesions must be promptly diagnosed and treated. There are various methods of managing these lesions, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Surgical technique is preferable when the lesion is persistent, recurrent or symptomatic, and remains the most effective strategy, despite the existence of other, more modern techniques that are better tolerated by patients. But in all cases, follow-up is very important, especially when the mucocele is located in a particular area, such as the ventral side of the tongue, or in a younger population.
