Abstract
One of the factors that limits an informed discussion on the management of ranulas is the relative rarity not only of this condition but salivary gland disease in general. For example, the incidence of salivary stones, reported as the commonest salivary condition, only occurs in 6 cases per 100,000 population. Benign salivary gland tumors have an incidence of 8 per 100,000 and malignant salivary tumors as little as 0.7 annually. Salivary ranulas occur much less frequently than salivary stones. In our salivary gland clinic, 570 of the 2,200 patients seen in the last 10 years had salivary stones.
