RESUMEN
Planning for Mohs defect reconstruction is an integral part of fellowship training. Use of a digital drawing program prior to the procedure can be a time-saving and cost-efficient method for surgical planning. It also fosters active engagement in learning through a collaborative and comprehensive discussion of reconstructive options.

A mucocele is one of the more commonly encountered disorders of the oral mucosa. It develops when a minor salivary duct is injured or blocked, resulting i n the escape of mucus into the adjacent submucosal connective tissue. We present two cases that were clinically diagnosed as mucoceles that were removed because of patient anxiety. However, histological examination revealed dissimilar and medically significant pathologies. Oral cysticercosis and salivary gland adenocarcinoma are rare diseases of the oral mucosa. It is important to consider these and other uncommon diagnoses when evaluating an oral nodule presumed to be a mucocele. We will discuss the natural history and pathogenesis of these disease processes.
