Ranula is a cyst filled with saliva in the oral cavity, usually presenting as a hemispherical bluish cyst. The optimal treatment is still controversial, with many authors favoring surgery, but our case suggests that watch and wait approach with mechanical pressure can be effective.
Ranula, from the Latin little frog, is a retention cyst filled with saliva in the oral cavity. Simple ranulas most commonly affect the sublingual gland and typically present as a hemispherical bluish cyst on the floor of the mouth, making it a visual diagnosis. A 7-year-old girl presented with a swelling on the underside of the tongue, an uncommon location for a ranula that made diagnostic assignment difficult. The optimal treatment of a ranula is still controversial in the literature. Many authors favor surgery as the treatment of choice. Our case shows that a watch and wait approach with simple mechanical pressure on the cyst can be sufficient.
