A CASE REPORT OF RECURRENT SUBLINGUAL RANULA: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Ranulas are painless or mildly uncomfortable, soft, fluid filled vesicles that occur in floor of mouth. Both mucus retention and mucus extravasation phenomenon have been implicated in the aetiology of ranula. While diagnosing, careful differential diagnosis should be carried out to rule out the other lesions occurring in the floor of the mouth like the lipoma, dermoid cyst, abscess, salivary gland lesions and vascular lesions. Treatment options are variable, but excision of ranula along with the sublingual gland is the most accepted treatment modality.
