Abstract

From 1968 to 1990, 30 patients with ranula were treated in our department: 9 men and 21 women aged 5 to 55 years (mean age 29.1 years).There were 20 sublingual (66.7%), 5 sublingual-submandibular (16.7%) and 5 submandibular types (16.7%). It is hard to diagnose ranula of the submandibular type, but CT scans are useful.Four patients had recurrences after the first surgery, because of imcomplete excision of the sublingual gland. It is important to remove the sublingual gland completely.
