It's a very common exophytic lesion resulting from a salivary accumulation, due to an alteration of the minor salivary gland.They can be categorized according to their etiology: they may occur from extravasation or retention of the secretion.The main one is the extravasation mucocele caused by traumatic rupture of the gland's epithelium spilling out the mucus in the extra-glandular space.

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that biliary sludge is a pre-cursor to mucocele formation and that these cases progress (in one study 13% eventually became established mucoceles). (ecvs.org)
Hyperadrenocorticism is associated with biliary mucoceles and cases that are diagnosed with HAC are twice as likely to die following cholecystectomy. (ecvs.org)
Furthermore, we also have data to suggest that 8% of cases die due to thrombotic events and this is likely an underestimation due to the difficulties in confirming this aetiology. (ecvs.org)
