Abstrakt:	Oral mucoceles are common lesions resulting from alterations in minor salivary glands due to mucus accumulation. Deleterious habits such as lip biting, sucking, or trauma from oral appliances can result in the occurrence of mucoceles. Although conventional surgical removal has been the preferred treatment option, it is associated with drawbacks, including the risk of damaging nearby ducts and the formation of satellite lesions. A 13-year-old male patient visited the department with a sessile, nodular, and exophytic lesion on the lower lip and a persistent history of traumatic lip biting. The treatment involved the administration of intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide at the base of the lesion. A significant reduction was noted after the first injection, with the lesion showing complete resolution within two weeks. No recurrence was observed during the six-month follow-up period. This case highlights the effectiveness of intralesional corticosteroid injections as a non-surgical treatment option for mucoceles. This treatment modality, due to its non-invasive nature, can be particularly considered as the primary treatment choice in the pediatric population, facilitating effective behavior management.
