title: Cryosurgical treatment of mucocele in children.
abstract: Cryosurgery of superficial mucoceles located in the lower lip of eight children is reported. The treatment did not require administration of local anesthetics and was easily performed and well-tolerated even by small children. Healing proceeded uneventfully in all patients. No recurrence during a 1-year follow-up period was observed. Cryosurgery proved to be an effective and essential tool in the management of mucocele in children.
