Abstract

Objective: We report a rare case of an intralingual ranula. The differential diagnosis, etiology, diagnostic features, and management are discussed. Case Report: An 18-year-old man presented with a mass that extended along the ventral surface of the tongue and up to the tip. The computed tomography scan clearly defined the extent of a cystic lesion. The pathologic diagnosis of an intralingual ranula was made. Conclusion: Lingual cysts have a varied etiology. Diagnosis hinges on histological examination of the cyst wall. Conservative resection and histological examination is the standard of care.
