The major risk factor for mucous cyst formation is degenerative changes in the distal interphalangeal joint associated with OA. (web.app)
The medical terminology for mucous cyst on lip is called a mucocele.They are also called as mucous retention cyst.They form when saliva or mucus escapes into a lining of the connective or surrounding tissues and creates a soft round smooth lump that is filled with fluid. (web.app)
They may also occur at the middle joint or Mucous retention cyst, or oral mucocele are bumps formed by the swelling of the connective tissue. (web.app)
Salivary gland2
Mucoceles, which are of minor salivary gland origin, are also referred to as mucus retention phenomenon and mucus escape reaction. (medscape.com)
In case of recurrence of the ranula in the surgical operation, the ranula and salivary gland are removed. (yucelenhastanesi.com)
Minor salivary3
Specifically, the ranula originates in the body of the sublingual gland, in the ducts of Rivini of the sublingual gland, and, infrequently from the minor salivary glands at this location. (medscape.com)

Pathogenesis3
Regarding superficial mucoceles, trauma does not always appear to play an important role in the pathogenesis. (medscape.com)
Besides ductal disruption, partial or total excretory duct obstruction is involved in the pathogenesis of ranulas in some instances. (medscape.com)
2) The authors describe a rare case of mucocele of maxillary sinus and, on the basis of the histological and namely of the ultrastructural findings, they maintain that the mucocele has in all probability a multiple pathogenesis being dependent not only on the inflammatory processes, but also on other local predisposing factors and namely the active participation of the mucosa in the formation of the cavity of mucocele.
