ABSTRACT
Ranula consists of a pathological process induced by ductal disruption of the minor salivary glands followed by extravasation of mucous material surrounding adjacent structures. A swelling causing breathing and feeding problems associated with tongue displacement is frequently observed. It is a disease that generally involves the younger age group. In newborns congenital ranula may occur, an uncommon variance that differs from common ranula by not relate to post-traumatic reactions. There are reports that indicate a salivary gland duct atresia as the main cause of this pathology. The aim of this study is to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of congenital ranula by reporting a new case report of this salivary cyst and reviewing the case reports previously published in the English literature.
