Clinical & radiologic finding the lesion are in line of a mucocele.found it is cyst.its being18 months.cyst looks smaller & flat now it is dangerous?

Any: Any non-healing lesions should be evaluated periodically or treated. Someone made decision that it was cyst, not mucocele. Return to that practitioner for reevaluation. "Dangerous" depends on location, size, impingement on adjacent tissues, neoplastic risk, etc.
