Ranula Arising From Sublingual Gland
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Oral ranula is a retention cyst arising from the sublingual gland on the floor of the mouth as a result of ductal obstruction and fluid retention1. Management of ranula becomes controversial. Various surgical options have been suggested in the literature for management of sublingual ranula which includes excision of the lesion, marsupialisation, incision and drainage, resection of sublingual gland. There is high recurrence rate when excision/marsupialisation has been performed even in cases of simple ranula. To avoid damage to adjacent structures like submandibular duct and lingual nerve, excision of the ranula along with its lining is done our case.
