Ranula: Two Interesting Case Reports.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Lesions in the floor of mouth pose a challenge to oral physician both clinically and surgically because this area exhibits a great number of vital structures. While diagnosing, careful differential diagnosis should be carried out to rule out other lesions that usually occur in floor of the mouth such as ranula, Lipoma, salivary gland lesions, dermoid cyst, and vascular lesions. Ranula is a type of retention cyst arising from sublingual salivary gland as a result of obstruction of duct and fluid retention2. The foremost aetiology is obstruction of salivary gland duct followed by trauma. Here we present two cases of ranula in a young male and young female child in lateral aspect of floor of the mouth and their successful treatment.
