Zusammenfassung:Ranulas are mucoceles that occur as a result of saliva's leakage from a sublingual gland, due to obstruction or trauma of its duct. Ranulas can either be confined to the floor of the mouth or invade submandibular and submental spaces. In this case, they are called plunging ranulas which are rarely found in children. The aim of this study is to report a case treated by our group and discuss its management.
