| Abstract | |
A plunging ranula is a mucous extravasation cyst appearing as a swelling in the submental and submandibular regions. We describe a case of submandibular swelling in a child without any oral finding. The diagnosis of plunging ranula was confirmed by aspiration and ultrasound. This case report describes the presentation, diagnosis and management of plunging ranula in a child. |
