1. Question
A 25-year-old female presents with past history of biting her lower lip for several weeks and now presents with a lesion that increases and decreases in size (Photo 30). PMH: asthma, Meds: Albuterol, All: NKDA. On the basis of the symptoms and clinical presentation, what is the treatment of choice?
CorrectThe correct answer is C. Excisional biopsy of a mucocele is the treatment of choice in this case on the basis of its size and location. NS rinses would not provide any beneficial component. Antibiotics are not indicated since there is no infectious process involved. An incisional biopsy would only be indicated if the lesion was large and did not have the classic presentation of a mucocele noted by patient report.
