Most tissues removed in vermilionectomies are superficial, but minor salivary gland ducts can be ruptured, leading to mucous extravasation in the surrounding tissues. Therefore, as in the case reported
here, mucoceles should also be included as possible
postoperative sequelae after vermilionectomies.
