Cervical ranulas

J G Batsakis et al. Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol. 1988 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Cervical ranulas, known also as plunging or burrowing ranulas, are an outcome of extravasated sublingual gland mucin that has gained access to the soft tissues of the neck. These pseudocystic lesions may be localized or extensive, and they require surgical excision of the sublingual gland for effective management.
