A case of plunging ranula arising in a 10-year-old boy is reported. The clinical findings were elastic soft and fluctuating swelling in the right submandibular region.
In this case treatment, extirpation of the cyst and the sublingual gland were performed under general anesthesia on August 16, 1989. The cyst was attached to the sublingual gland in the operative view.
Therefore, it was supposed that an origin of the cyst was the sublingual gland. The patient is in good condition with no recurrence postoperatively.
