Fulltext PDFObjectives: We report 02 clinical cases of ranula through these cases we will describe the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and therapeutic aspect of ranula.
Cas Report: These are two patients aged 30 years and 20 years old, both females, who all consulted the otolaryngology and head and neck surgery department of the Gabriel Toure University Hospital in Bamako for sublingual swelling. Ultrasound was performed on the first patient while the second disc performed a CT scan. These examinations made it possible to confirm the fluid content of the mass. Surgical excision of the ranula was carried out in both patients. The aftermath was simple and we have had no recurrences after 12 months of monitoring.
Conclusion: Ranula is a sublingual cystic lesion whose etiology remains to be discussed. Several hypotheses have been posed (congenital predisposition, inflammation, trauma, anatomical variations). Surgical excision of the ranula remains the standard treatment because this rate of recurrence is the lowest compared to other treatments.
