Abstract
Three patients seen with the diagnosis of “ranula” are described. One had a mucous retention cyst, another had a sublingual dermoid cyst, and the third had a large lipoma. Because of the comparative rarity of a dermoid cyst or lipoma in this position, the literature and the pathology of these two conditions are discussed more fully. In view of the conflicting definitions of “ranula” given in different textbooks and by different authorities, it is suggested that the term “ranula” should be abolished in order to avoid confusion.
