Mucoceles are pseudocysts that arise from trauma to the excretory salivary duct; this leads to escape of mucous into the surrounding soft tissues, which become walled off by granulation tissue and eventually organized by fibrous tissue.
Cystlike cavity fills with mucin with variable numbers of neutrophils, muciphages and, sometimes, eosinophilic spherules surrounded by condensed granulation tissue containing muciphages; these globules are mucicarmine positive and may represent mucin condensations; a feeder duct exhibiting squamous metaplasia may be seen: mucin may be inconspicuous within the wall (Figs. 12-2 and 12-3).
