Abstract: ] Mucocele of minor salivary glands was common in the lower lip and rarely in the cheek. Buccal mucous cyst was usually located in the submucosal tissues between the buccinator muscle. As a mucocele, the clinical manifestation of buccal mucocele was not typical, and it was easy to be misdiagnosed in clinic. This paper reported a case of larger mucocele from buccal minor salivary glands which was misdiagnosed as lipoma, in order to provide references for the diagnosis and treatment of buccal masses.

Key words: Minor salivary gland, Mucocele, Cheek
