Abstract
The mucocele, the oral ranula, and the cervical, or plunging, ranula are all clinical terminology for a pseudocyst with mucus leakage into the soft tissues surrounding it. These lesions are caused by mucin spilling into the surrounding soft tissues as a result of trauma or congestion to the salivary gland excretory duct. The emergence of mucoceles and ranulas is dependent on the interruption of saliva flow from the salivary glands' secretory mechanism. Two patients with a specific diagnostic were treated and are shown in this article.
