Plunging Ranula Occurring Without its Oral Counterpart: A Case Report
View through CrossRef
A ranula is a lesion that arises from mucin spillage from the sublingual or submandibular gland ducts, beneath the mucosa of the oral floor. A plunging or cervical ranula dissects the mylohyoid muscle and appears as a submandibular swelling. Rarely, a plunging ranula is encountered without its oral counterpart. Here, we report a rare case of a plunging ranula that occurred without its oral counterpart in a 11-year-old male patient. We have also discussed the pathogenesis and treatment options for the ranula.
