Abstract
Objective: Ranulas are cystic fluid-filled cavities caused by extravasation of the sublingual glands on the floor of the mouth.
Methods: A 31-year-old woman complained of swelling beneath her left tongue that had developed during the previous month. Examination revealed that the swollen area was 2 cm in diameter, long, soft, and bluesy. This case was treated with the marsupialization technique.
Results: The biopsy indicates that the lesion is a ranula. After two weeks of observation, no complications or recurrences occurred after treatment.
Conclusion: The superficial ranula was successfully treated with marsupialization procedures without complications or recurrences.
