Abstract EN

Ranula is a mucus extravasation cyst originating from the sublingual gland on the floor of the mouth.

Congenital ranula is very rare.

We report a case of a 4-month-old girl with a congenital ranula in the floor of mouth.

The ranula was treated first by marsupialization, but the cyst recurred after 1 week.

Excision of the ranula was done and was successful.
