A Large Superficial Dissecting Sublingual Ranula Crossing the Midline: Our Experience
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Ranula is a cystic lesion arising in the oral cavity in relation to the sublingual gland. Typically ranulas are unilateral although there has been a report of superficial dissecting ranula crossing the midline thus presenting as a bilateral lesion. This article is about our experience with a similar large right sided sublingual ranula crossing the midline in a 17 year old female who underwent a complete excision of the lesion along with removal of ipsilateral sublingual gland which is the accepted treatment at present.
