• Ranulas are a subset of mucocele that present on the floor of the mouth as painless, fluctuant, blue-hued, mobile masses.
• Superficial and plunging ranulas should be treated with surgical removal of the ranula and implicated sublingual gland via a transoral approach.
• Sublingual gland excision is preferred to marsupialization because of much lower rates of ranula recurrence.
• Plunging ranulas can be effectively treated by removing the sublingual gland transorally and evacuating the extravasated mucus through the transoral approach.
• Kono and colleagues conducted a retrospective chart review including 23 patients with intraoral ranulas treated with OK-432 (picibanil) injection sclerosing therapy.
• More than 1 injection is required in most patients for complete cure.
