Mucocele: Fluid filled sacs that appear under the tongue or inside of the lip are usually mucoceles. These structures form when salivary ducts become blocked. They are harmless and usually go away on their own with time. When large enough to interfere with speech or normal mouth function, evaluation is warranted. Self drainage of mucoceles is not recommended.
