Three cases are reported to illustrate certain features related to swellings of the salivary glands. With a mucocele of the floor of the mouth difficulites may arise in the correct identification of the gland of origin, in elucidating the aetiological factors, and in obtaining adequate radiographic or sialographic views of the area. Surgical treatment follows the surgical removal of the involved gland.
