Abstract
Ranula is a common lesion of the mouth floor, resulting from rupture of the salivary gland duct and extravasation of mucin, usually associated with local trauma. Higher prevalence among young people and children is observed. Treatment options include marsupialization, excision of the gland involved, and micromarsupialization, the less invasive technique. A 28-year-old lactating female patient without previous oral lesions was complaining of lump in the mouth. Intraoral examination showed a bluish-floating increase of volume in the right mouth floor crossing midline, associated with ulcer near the occlusion line, with clinical diagnosis of ranula. Micromarsupialization was the treatment of choice, and after 8 months, there was complete regression of the lesion without recurrence. This technique is a good treatment option because of its simplicity of execution and low invasiveness, being prioritized in patients like the one from this case report.
