Abstract
A mucocele is any dilatation (typically pathologic) with accumulation of mucus.
Diagnosis
Superficial mucoceles can often be diagnosed by appearance and consistency alone. Sometimes, it is indicated to perform diagnostic imaging and/or needle biopsy.
On a CT scan, a mucocele is fairly homogenous, with an attenuation of about 10-18 Hounsfield units.
