Multiple mucoceles are an extremely rare condition in the oral cavity. We report a case which responded entirely to systemic gamma-linolenic acid but which recurred several months following discontinuation of therapy. Spontaneous resolution of the condition seems unlikely and it would appear that gamma-linolenic acid could have an effect on minor salivary gland composition and/or viscosity and may be worth prescribing on a trial basis prior to surgical treatment of this rare condition.
