Intraoral swellings present as a diagnostic challenge to the clinician, the most bourgeois being mucocele & ranula. An intraoral ranula has been defined as a retention cyst due to ductal obstruction & fluid retention of the sublingual salivary gland on the floor of the mouth. The name "ranula" has been derived from the latin word "Rana" meaning "Frog." We hereby report a case of triennial recurrent ranula located in the floor of mouth, treated successfully by surgical excision by injecting an irreversible impression material to delineate the cystic lining of the lesion, after which the patient recovered unvariedly.

Abstract


Intraoral swellings present as a diagnostic challenge to the clinician, the most bourgeois being mucocele & ranula. An intraoral ranula has been defined as a retention cyst due to ductal obstruction & fluid retention of the sublingual salivary gland on the floor of the mouth. The name "ranula" has been derived from the latin word "Rana" meaning "Frog." We hereby report a case of triennial recurrent ranula located in the floor of mouth, treated successfully by surgical excision by injecting an irreversible impression material to delineate the cystic lining of the lesion, after which the patient recovered unvariedly.
